The first few chapters are more related to US elections, baseball, which were really not my cup of tea. Other chapters were about hurricanes and earthquakes and they were more exciting. Basically this book is about why some predictions failed. Author gets into more details about things that were overlooked in forecasting weather, predicting how baseball player will perform in upcoming season and why sometimes people ignorance is the main factor of failed prediction.
Overall I'm still on the fence to say whether I would recommend this book.
