grosenthal 's review for:

The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives by Leonard Mlodinow

3.0

funny informative medium-paced

Frankly, I went into this expecting something like a Gladwell or Taleb, and was disappointed. It's a hard task to tackle probability and randomness without a single formula, and the anecdotes were pretty good, but overall I didn't gain much from the book. It was concise, though, which is nice
