A review by alcea
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell
informative

2.0
The Topic of the book is easy to understand, and generally interesting BUT:
- It drags on for way too long, in my opinion most of those anecdotes could've been left out.
- The parts about autism rub me slightly the wrong way - it seems very stereotypical and outdated.
I did read normally until up to chapter five, I then started to skip passages that didn't add anything to the premise.
So starting with chapter five I constantly whished he could finally get to the point. I dropped the afterword completely, because it was just another, boringly dragged out example.
Based on this I can not recommend this and would not want to read it again.
