I read the book in one sitting, and I am no Matilda or speed reader. That shows how "light" it is.
Many of the concepts are stuff which we might have pondered about or debated with our friends or family members over dinner, with little proof to support.
The swimming pool thing is a no-brainer.I know my mum knew it all along, and she does not even read books!
The abortion thing sheds new light, with facts to back up the arguments, and conspiracy theorists who are anti-abortion will have a field day finding loop holes in it.
The KKK thing is nothing new. It is all about information gaps.
The Crack thing? Well, just, watch some Hong Kong films, and you will understand the it better than you read the book. I think the often maligned HK film industry seems to be able to paint a clearer picture.
If there is something in this book that makes worth while to part with your money, it is the parenting section! Why?
a) You will feel enlightened enough to not buy a second book on parenting
b) You will stop spending sleepless nights conjuring a "unicque" name for your child.
c) Stop being obsessed about being a good parent, start being a good person!
d) No more rushing back/ stop watching that world cup game JUST to read bedtime stories!
And if someone were to disagree with you, just cite that HARVARD-MIT educated PROFESSOR!
With those incentives, what are you waiting for? Grab the book!
