On Reading Four Books (required 9)

I found reading The Wisdom of Crowds to be the most enjoyable this semester. The material was interesting and could easily be applied to real life situations- I found myself noticing the books points about group interactions happen in real life. The book had a plethora of facts to keep it from drawing to much towards an opinionated novel, but each of the facts and cases were very different from eachother, so every page did not feel like it was the same. However, this is not the case with Millenial Makeover. This book was particularly boring, it felt as though the author went on for ages explaining a point he had already gotten across in the first chapter. He had plenty of facts to back up his arguement, but most of them revolved around the same few examples, which made the book feel like it had a print error where a few pages had been reused later on in the text. I also am not a huge fan of political debates, and this text pretty much felt like an enshrinement to the democrats of our country, which is about as political a text can be as possible. Also I do not feel as though Millenial Makeover will be as relavent in future semesters because there is no impending election in the near horizon- its points will not be as interesting to read because they will have already happened.
