Very interesting book and as someone who VERY easily gets bored of statistics and economics this book was a joy to read. I wouldn't take everything in Freakonomics as fact and I will definitely be doing some further reading (I would suggest you do too if you read this book) on topics mentioned in it. In all, I found that this book kept me entertained and I was never bored. It gives a lot of food for thought and I have had a lot of interesting conversations at social gatherings discussing some of the topics in this book. If you want something fun and informative to read I highly suggest this book.

I have to admit it took me a while to get into this book but after the first few chapters, I was hooked. In a lot of the reviews, people said they didn't like the writing style but it didn't bother me at all, on the contrary I found I rather liked it. Even the use of footnotes, although strange at first, I grew to like. I've never read a fantasy book that uses footnotes before so it was interesting to have them in this one. I thought the plot was good with some nice twists. The characters were also quite nicely rounded and I understood the motives behind what they did. Whenever I wasn't reading Nevernight I found myself thinking about it and wanting to read it all the time. Maybe it's not for everyone but overall I really enjoyed it.
