The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our LivesWith the born storyteller's command of narrative and imaginative approach, Leonard Mlodinow vividly demonstrates how our lives are profoundly informed by chance and randomness and how everything from wine ratings and corporate success to school grades and political polls are less reliable than we believe.

With the born storyteller's command of narrative and imaginative approach, Leonard Mlodinow vividly demonstrates how our lives are profoundly informed by chance and randomness and how everything from wine ratings and corporate success to school grades and political polls are less reliable than we believe. By showing us the true nature of chance and revealing the psychological illusions that cause us to misjudge the world around us, Mlodinow gives us the tools we need to make more informed decisions. From the classroom to the courtroom and from financial markets to supermarkets, Mlodinow's intriguing and illuminating look at how randomness, chance, and probability affect our daily lives will intrigue, awe, and inspire.Binding Type: Paperback

My daughter likes it
Format: Paperback
I bought this book for my reluctant to read 3rd grader. She reads it without me having to tell her to read, and is now carrying it in her backpack to school.

Captured a reluctant readers attention
Format: Kindle
We downloaded this book this morning for the Kindle. My daughter is a reluctant chapter book reader, but she saw the cover and was hooked. She loves cats. She read the whole book independently in one sitting and then started rereading it!
I think reading it on the Kindle helped because it gave her percentages of her progress and made her more motivated to finish it!

Cute, funny, and purrfect
Format: Paperback
My daughter and I have been reading this book and have had lots of laughs. We love Gray's personality 😆 It's so fun that it's intertwined with the Unicorn and Sprinkles books we've caught all the hints and when things have happened in the other books. My daughter hopes there will be more books for this series!

Right level
Format: Kindle
Easy to read. Was the right balance of chapter book with minimal pictures that helped my 7 year old stay engaged without needing a picture on every page. My reader made connection of characters/events from other stories by same author.
Review from 7 year old: "Liked that it was a cat with sunglasses."
