Review

The first 8-9 chapters of this book are well-written, and great on an audiobook. Near the end both the audiobook and the book fall apart. Judea Pearl provides an errata you can rely on as it gets bad; see Book of Why - Errata Pages.

This review is based on the audiobook, print book, and:

• The Book of Why, The New Science of Cause and Effect - Google Play Books.
