OK, I didn't actually read this--I listened to it over the course of several weeks with my husband. I'm usually incapable of focusing on audio books, but this book was light enough and fun enough that it held my attention. I enjoyed it; I always enjoy a contrarian. At the same time, I doubt that many of his scenarios and theories would hold up under close scrunity . . . but it was still fun to listen to.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.

My cousin, Lamia, gave me this book for my birthday, and it was such a perfect fit. I loved reading it, but even more, I really enjoyed that she was so dead on even though we haven't seen each other in almost five years.
