faeriefox 's review for:
David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits and the Art of Battling Giants
by Malcolm Gladwell
informative
reflective
fast-paced
I don't have much to say about this book; it was fascinating and challenged my thoughts, but it was paced a little weirdly and sometimes hard to follow.
I appreciated the wide variety of examples that Gladwell attached to his points; many of them were very applicable to me and will be helpful in decisions like choosing a college-- I'd definitely recommend this book if you are in high school!
I don't usually like nonfiction, but I appreciated that this book was very narrative in style. It made it much more compelling to read and did not feel like a drag.
Also, I liked how Gladwell slowly progressed to darker topics instead of just jumping in to heavy stories. It was a good writing choice.
All in all, this book definitely challenged my definition of an advantage or disadvantage and was a very interesting read!
