I enjoy Malcolm Gladwell's books. And, overall, this one was interesting and enjoyable to read as well.This collection of his New Yorker pieces really left me thinking, though, that it's a mistake to believe that just because someone gets to be a writer for a prestigious magazine, they know what the...

I had something to say but the app wasn't working for like a week. As good as his proper books with the same main weaknesses. More variety makes it slightly more interesting but slightly less meaningful.
Tried to read this book on several occasions but it just did not keep by interest. I finally decided not to bother with it anymore so I have never finished it. It may be a good book but not for me.
