rjkamaladasa 's review for:

4.0

The book did a good job of changing my view of the world. The writing style of Taleb is better suited for a newspaper feature article, rather than a book. But hey, it got the job done.

The only grudge I have about this book is that the author uses a lot of political examples to prove his point. Politics and history can easily be misinterpreted and attributed to the wrong reasons because there are so many variable at play. Having said that, Taleb still manages to make a point, so this book comes with a very high recommendation.
