Not what I thought it will be. Perhaps I could pick it up later on when I am in a different stage of my life.

Wow, such a good book. Quite eye opening and a joy to read.
One of those books which truly change your thinking on life, at least it got me hooked.
Now I am off to read every single one of Taleb's books.

Very entertaining at the start. Laughed about 5 times before I even got past the first chapter. Deducted a star because there are only so many times you can be told how wonderful George Soros is without vomiting.

This book had a lot of interesting ideas about randomness, probability, and making sense of the world around you. However, the author's voice came across as so smug that it was extremely hard to read, and the book as a whole seemed disorganized and hard to follow. Additionally, his lack of follow-through is pretty frustrating. He spends 90% of the time excoriating those who make these mistakes, and then skims past his recommendations of how to avoid them. I, at least, was expecting something more. I think Taleb had some strong points and interesting insights into some of the common mistakes we make as humans; being too proud, stubborn, or arrogant to write a cohesive book is another one, though.
