COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Another fun, classic Gladwell! submitted by eapearce on July 15, 2014, 7:33pm This book is classic Malcolm Gladwell: super fun to read, informative, and amusing. I found myself surprised how quickly this book flew by for me. Gladwell, as always, does a great job of presenting situations and social issues (that can be somewhat complex) in a manner that is easily understood by most readers. It's hard to believe you're learning as much as you are when you're reading this book, because it reads so smoothly. I really enjoyed the wide variety of subjects that Gladwell touches on as well. He really makes the book appeal to readers who may have very diverse interests and doesn't spend too long focusing on any one detailed concept. Fans of his Blink, Outliers and The Tipping Point definitely need to add David and Goliath to their "must read" list.
