    I loved this book. The concept of the book is simple: analyze data to try to find causes and effects. This may sound simple but it is almost never implied. Instead, we hold positions based on guesses rather than facts.

    There are some fascinating topics in this book. Do more cops lead to less crime? Why did lynchings actually increase when the KKK disbanded? Why do drug sellers live with their mothers? I'm telling you, it is a FASCINATING read.
