review 1: It was an interesting read and certainly introduced new ways of thinking to me that I haven't thought of before. The book is also funny and entertaining, especially when Stossel attacks those that make claims that he disagrees with.Unfortunately, Stossel takes very strong stances on many issues but will only give brief, over-simplistic justifications for many of those stances, without ever going into why the other side's logical support is wrong. Many times he'll make a claim and use logic to support it instead of evidence and statistics. The Washington Times has a review proving Stossel wrong on several points with actual studies. Read this book with caution.
review 2: It was interesting, but there was only so much I could read before the message sunk in. More... more government regulation = more bad. OK ... I get it. I couldn't finish it .. not because it was bad, but because I simply lost interest. Perhaps it's more an indictment of me than Stossel (who I find interesting on television), but I'm particular with my books and if it can't hold my interest, there's no sense in soldiering through something that's not bringing enjoyment. less
