An interesting, well-written book but I found it wasn't as user-friendly as I expected. It seemed to me that a lay person couldn't grasp all the concepts Silver had stated and explained.
Having said that I have to concede that this might well be the starting point for many of us to dig deeper and try to learn the statistics and Math involved in predictions.
I liked the way Silver explained the difference between risk and uncertainty and predictions and forecasts. All in all an eminently readable book.
