I had read The Tipping Point fairly soon after it was released twenty-five years ago. It was a long time ago, but I remember the original book being much better than this one. It could be time, my tastes changing, the topics, or a combination.
Malcolm writes well, is a great narrator, and covers some strong topics. But it was hard to tell when the "Malcolmisms" began and ended.
The book was a disjointed and disorganized mess that was hard to follow. Topics were annoyingly covered in multiple chapters, along with an annoying guitar music soundtrack.
The topics covered will be fascinating to research!
