When the movie trailers for this movie started airing it seemed like an interesting story, so I picked up the book in the airport and started reading it. Finally finished it this week. As I was reading it I thought Dallas would like the book too, so I told him about it. Turns out he’s already read it. Aside from Malcolm Gladwell’s books and Freakonomics, this is probably the only book we’ve both read.
