The book is mostly interesting anecdotes, such as how Roe v. Wade caused a crime drop in the nation's large cities 20 years later, and how test scores reveal which teachers are cheating for their students. Many reviewers have complained the book has no central theme; this is only partly correct. The big theme I took from the book is that conventional wisdom is often wrong, and that with the right data, we can find out how things really work (a similar theme was explored in "Moneyball") as opposed to statistically irrelevant personal experiences, which is how most people operate.

I've loved this book ever since childhood, but I really want the paperback copy with the hot guys on the cover.

I picked this book to take care of the Irish author requirement. It was okay. Rather long. But for the most part it kept my interest. The main character is off roaming the hills of Ireland looking for the storyteller. He finds out more than that and deals with his own family issues.

My favorite Steinbeck, and maybe my favorite book. Amazing take on good and evil in humanity. Also explores academic topics (language/meaning). Long, but very very worth it.

"Guilty Pleasures": the books you're ashamed to admit you like. ...and for me, that list begins with Tom Clancy. Yes, the writing desperately cries out for an editor. Yes, the plots are increasingly fantastic and implausible as the Ryanverse progresses. Still, the books have some undefinable quality that sucks me in. Does the CIA need a librarian?

I have never read anything like this before. Marcus creates his own universe complete with physics, religion, architecture, etc. The prose is often very surreal and I decided early on that I wouldn't try to make sense of it. If your willing to just go for the ride and enjoy the language, it is quite enjoyable.

Although I didn't particularly like the previous installment, I gave this final book in the series a shot. It was much more enjoyable read than I was expecting. Niven got it together for this finale.

I should preface this review by saying that I am not a Christian. I don't believe that Jesus was the messiah. In fact, I don't really believe in any of the organized religions that I'm at all familiar with. How can an earthbound man pretend to understand the goings-on of a god? Still, I can suspend my disbelief. That's what you have to do to read fiction anyway, right, for the duration of the book, believe that the characters and their traits (like healing the sick and being the son of God) are real. But on to the review. This book is superb. It kinds of sneaks up on the reader with its humanity. For a while, it goes along as being very entertaining and extremely funny. Then something happens and the reader realizes that he is actually starting to care about these characters. The story ultimately told is one of responsibility and friendship. And the responsibility that comes with friendship. It also tells the story about the difficulty of doing the right thing, even when you are the messiah. I will say that, as I was nearing the end of the book, I was torn as to whether to give it four or five stars. As it progressed, it was less humorous and the introduction of the disciples made things rather confused. I decided that I would more than likely lean in favor of the five. It was my realization that the book's lack of steam toward the end is due more to my lack of knowledge about Jesus’ life and the disciples than about any flaws with the book. And as the book crept toward His crucifixion, perhaps a gradual phasing out of the comedy was a necessity. Still, I would leave the final decision until the book's conclusion. I was still of two minds when I reached the last chapter. But after the heartening epilogue, I had no choice but to go with the five. I'm a sucker for a happy ending. I should note that, although this book could be construed as sacrilegious in many ways, Jesus’ divinity is never in question. Most of the humor comes from Biff, Jesus' lifelong buddy. In fact, I think Christians might like this book for the very human way that Jesus is portrayed. And as I said, I'm not a Christian and I absolutely loved it. So in conclusion, I would say that any reader would enjoy this fantastic novel.
