I liked it and found it to be an entertaining read but I didn't love it. It was fun to read about the various social experiments A.J. performed but it felt a little rushed at points. For me, the main problem is A.J. I found his personality to be a little grating and overbearing at times. I get the impression that the author thinks he is a lot funnier than he actually is. Also, his wife must be the most patient person on the planet. A fun read. A.J.Jacobs is a free lance writer with Esquire Magazine and he loves to experiment and than write an article or book on his experiences. Get ready for some interesting insights into things you probably never thought about but will forever think about from here on out. Some very funny stuff for someone looking for a wintry escape. Especially love early on in the book when he "outsources" his personal life to India. Still laughing!!
Fun and educational read! Can't wait to read his next book.
