It was a little confusing. I was asked to listen to it for work; I didn't really enjoy it. But someone who likes learning about marketing strategies would probably enjoy it.
When is the last time you felt withdrawal when you put your book down. Malcolm Gladwell is a genius somewhere between science, psychology, literature and common sense. A wonderful book.
I would have liked to read The Tipping Point but the book never arrived in the mail.I am not ordering from Amazon in the future.
This book runs all over the place. Thoughts come and go without warning. It seems like Mr. Gladwell did not have enough info to make a full-length book so he just kept going over the same suff. The book rambles and was overall boring. Read Freakonomics by Levitt instead of Tipping Point.
In my opinion, this book suffers from the same "illness" as so many books that may have something useful and valid to say. Once a new point is made the supporting evidence/explanation goes on far too many pages to the point of distraction. I found myself constantly scanning forward to see when the next new point was going to made. If you read some of the intelligent, well-written reviews for this book on the 'net you actually will have the summation of the book and won't need to spend your money.
