An Economist Walks Into a Brothel by Allison Schrager
Feb 27
1 min read
BATB score: 0.15/10
1st place winner for *2019 Bad Book List*
Extremely wordy. Disappointing content. Intellectual sleeping lullaby.
A lot of "me, myself, I" anecdotes. Unfortunate amplification of small nonessential topics.
To be fair, I read to page 50/200. I can not go any page further. The book deserve to be burnt.
Best for: an instagrammable book cover photo
Best to: read the Freakonomics series instead if you haven't
