Nonfiction Book Review

In the book, Freakonomics, by Steven D. Lewitt and Stephen J. Dubner, they talk about various situations that occur in everyday life. The authors sort of influence the reader to seek an open mind and look at both spectrums of a situation. I enjoyed the passage for the most part because the viewpoints were interesting and made me think critically.

Overall, I think that I will recommend this book to anyone that is open-minded of some sort.I feel that the authors try to get the readers to think more and go deeper than what is on the surface; they seem to look at society a multiple angles. One of the most interesting chapters that I read was chapter six. Chapter six talked about black names and white names; I found it interesting how they predict what names are going to be popular for white's and black's in the future.

The everyday stereotypes that people go through is brought up throughout this book I think that any reader will be able to relate to a subject-matter sum how. My book group had great discussions and it really helped comprehend the book even more, plus the different viewpoints from each person in the group opened each others eyes to their specific backgrounds.
