Funny - my stepson's girlfriend just suggested I read this when we were out to dinner the other night - another book on my TBR list!(I'm still catching up with the books that most of you read last year)
Ok. I was disappointed in this one. I think the many of the stories that he told were quite interesting, however, I didn't really believe the point he was trying to make in most cases - he seemed to be trying too hard for my taste. When I heard him talk about his book and some of the stories and his theories a few months ago, they seemed a bit more ' believable' ... Just my thoughts anyway... on to the next one! :)
I have a difficult time with Gladwell's books. He is an engaging speaker but I find him less convincing in print. He seems like he is trying too hard to tie facts together and make his points.
This was my first of Malcolm Gladwell's books - and it definitely won't be my last. I was thoroughly engaged with the audiobook - read by the author - and have thought about his ideas greatly since I finished listening to it.

HIs books are awesome, in my opinion.
