Yeah I didn’t love this, at all. Maybe it just wasn’t my interest? But I had hopes because of the way Gladwell writes that I may find enjoyment in it because his style is so engaging…
I was not really engaged.
It read well, if not a little ‘over quoted’ but we’re dealing with historical events so I understand.
I enjoyed some of the questions he asked and I did enjoy parts of it - especially towards the end.
This could certainly be more of a me issue than the book but I just didn’t enjoy it?
I felt it was clearly concerning a matter of huge interest to Gladwell but that interest didn’t necessarily translate to me.
I think he’s an incredible story teller, with amazing influence in his writing but this one wasn’t for me.
