Mendy –
I have never read any Gladwell books but, after hearing him interviewed on the radio, thought he sounded interesting and thus would give one of his books a try. I really enjoyed it. It was easy to read and, at least on my part, made me rethink things that I’d always accepted; ‘Well, of course that has to be right’ – but does it? Was it, necessarily, a great surprise that a small, well trained protector of livestock would loose a battle against a weak, poorly sighted acromegalic? Does the smaller class increase the productivity of students exponentially? Do some ‘disabilities’ actually increasing some people’s ability and success? Whether you accept all the facts Gladwell pulls on in his book or not I’m quite sure that it will make you think about things – it did for me anyway.
