Short review: This is more of the same micro-economic research similar to the previous Freakenomics book. They write well and it is still interesting, but the method is a little stale. The last last sections was about how simple, cheap solutions are often better but less often chosen. I think in the future they need a theme and then work around that (similar to how they did the end of this book.)
