And Mrs. Hausfather (who insists she is Jewish, just ruined the book for our whole class... Tar and feather, anyone?

There is nothing I hate more than the antagonist getting away with shit, and not getting owned in the face. I suppose it's more of an intellectual book, but I glaze over the intellectual parts, and don't read the three paragraphs Golding writes about nose hairs. I'd rather not read a book like that, and I would probably be incapable of understanding it's true meaning. Whatever.

Igor Bonanimals Posts: 5,611 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: August 31, 2005	Coincidentally, I finished the book today also. I rate it the same, but I disagree with the ending. It made more sense and fitted the character well. In the movie he was more "pro-Tyler".

Brilliantly devised questions such as "Why do drug dealers live with there mothers? and "What makes a good parent?" investigated in true statistical form. For example, the scenario in which a child is asking to go one of two friend's houses. The first, happens to like in a house where a gun is kept, and the second has a pool in his/her backyard. The instant reaction for the parent is to associate the weapon as a higher risk for their child, and see the pool as a safer option. However, the rate of child drowning substantially outweighs child gun-related deaths... It may sound stupid, but I find this pure logic interesting. If morality represents an ideal world, the logic that freakonomics explains is pure and utter reality. Check it out. 9/10
