I ADORED the information that was given to me by this book!
Finally, a book on economics that is both entertaining and interesting! It shows a larger picture, disproves 'common thought', and covers a wide range of different information!
This book was great! The easy to understand format was reader friendly. It does not try to be over one's head, even if they are NOT number oriented souls!
The things that were used to link myth and belief were humorous and witty. I do not think that I have read another book so quickly. I look forward to a part two! I would buy it in a NY minute!
Excellant read! Interesting & amusing! It makes you think and look for relationships between things that you would not have not considered before reading this.
Absolutely one of the best books in the last few years!

I enjoyed this book very much. There were a couple of places where I thought more detail could have been used as an explaination to actions and concepts of the Characters.
It gave a refreshing look at the Wicked Witch, OZ, and made it a more contemporary place. I felt sorry for her, her trials and tribulations. It showed she was 'human' rather than a cookie cutter 'bad guy'. It breathed new breath into the Land of Oz for me.
I went on to buy 'Son of a Witch' which I am currently reading now.
I would recommend this book, but I don't think I would call it a 'light read'. I think it's refreshing.
