good book! submitted by bookher on July 28, 2015, 4:56pm If you liked Blink, you'll enjoy this Malcom Gladwell book as well.

Fascinating submitted by lbootzin on July 23, 2016, 11:59am Interesting book looking at how ideas and objects become popular and take hold in the public sphere.

very interesting submitted by 21621031390949 on August 14, 2016, 10:45am A typical Malcom Gladwell book - very interesting and informative. Be careful though: When you listen to the recorded book you'll remember less than if you read the hard copy!

Fascinating submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on August 12, 2018, 10:43am A fascinating book about how, as the subtitle says, little things can make a big difference. I was especially intrigued by the author's argument that there are three kinds of people that really make a difference in shifting something small into something big.

I do wish more of the book was footnoted. There are 11 pages of endnotes, but I don't have a very solid sense of what arguments and connections are researched and documented and which ones are the author's own conclusions. Maybe Gladwell was trying to make the book readable and accessible, but he left me feeling like this was mostly his own personal meanderings rather than a solid thesis backed by evidence.

A really engaging non-fiction read. submitted by globesky on August 22, 2018, 1:54am This is a collection of theories about the personalities that influence the flow of information through society. It's an absorbing book, check it out!

The Tipping Point submitted by lstorc on June 28, 2019, 3:27pm One of the better nonfiction, business reads out there.

Enjoyable submitted by crp on August 4, 2019, 12:38am Enjoyable, good read

Amazing submitted by sydcha on August 6, 2019, 7:00pm Gladwell delivers again in this wonderfully written take on epidemics of all kinds. I truly enjoyed reading this book and I think that I learned a lot from it too.

Inspirational Treatise on How Ideas Spread submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 19, 2020, 10:31pm This 2000 book presented the phenomena that would be the champions of the Subsequent decade. The "Connectors" and "Mavens" would see more power to extend their vast networks of acquaintances and validate their expertise, making them the most sought after customers in companies searches to make their products go "viral."
