Its Malcolm Gladwell! Of course its great storytelling, informative, relational, what more is there? Just wish I recalled the stories more after reading.
A bit too similar to the formula of his other books for my taste, couldn't get momentum as I felt I already knew the gimmick.

It used to be I was constantly telling my wife that there's a Seinfeld on that (She hasn't seen many Seinfelds). Now, it's Gladwell. Everything we talk about has me thinking of some part of some book he wrote.
Anyway, this is not a cohesive book, but a collection of New Yorker pieces that he selected. They bring up terrific questions and then talk about them in interesting and thought provoking ways, and then generally don't answer them or, sometimes, really don't conclude all that much of importance. But yet they are terrific for all that. Gladwell is fun. Recommended to Gladwell fans.

Just plain good ol' fashioned journalism inquiring about the unknown. No mention of Russia, treason, emails, just questions like "Why has nothing replaced Ketchup?" or somewhat heavier investigations into profiling Pit bulls and how that relates to criminal profiling. Lovely, informative, but light reads.

The content of this book is great, but the organization was kind of boring and made for slow reading.
Still, it was interesting enough that I would reccomend it.

Gladwell’s writing coasts. He’s a master of pulling together apparently disparate situations and data and drawing out important insight that makes you go “ohhhhhh...yeah....” In short, he teaches you how to think.
This is a great collection, and I’ll probably come back to several of these articles in the future.

Average, and very random. I can see why I hadn’t heard much about this one, maybe my least favorite Gladwell book.
Still, mildly interesting.
“Good writing does not succeed or fail on the strength of its ability to persuade. It succeeds or fails on the strength of its ability to engage you, to make you think, to give you a glimpse into someone else's head.”
