I was asked to listen to it for work; I didn't really enjoy it. It was a little confusing. But someone who likes learning about marketing strategies would probably enjoy it.
Malcolm Gladwell is a genius somewhere between science, psychology, literature and common sense. When is the last time you felt withdrawal when you put your book down. 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.
Thoughts come and go without warning. Gladwell did not have enough info to make a full-length book so he just kept going over the same suff. Read Freakonomics by Levitt instead of Tipping Point. This book runs all over the place. It seems like Mr. The book rambles and was overall boring.
Once a new point is made the supporting evidence/explanation goes on far too many pages to the point of distraction. 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. In my opinion, this book suffers from the same "illness" as so many books that may have something useful and valid to say. I found myself constantly scanning forward to see when the next new point was going to made.
