i've been looking forward to reading this beacuase of all of the hype surrounding it and the tipping point.
i was not disappointed!
it was an interesting read- that kept me thinking (which i needed because my brain was starting to turn to mush).
i was glad to see a whole section devoted to Dr. John Gottman and his ability to read couples in just minutes and figure out if they're going to split up or not because I'm currently reading two of his books.

I've been meaning to read this for a long time, ever since I read Outliers, also by Malcolm Gladwell.

FABULOUS! Quick read but insanely interesting and I honestly laughed out loud quite a few times. The ideas that Gladwell presents are extremely thought-provoking and the manner in which he conveys them will capture any reader. My husband and I both read this book and each night we'd be tossing comments back and forth regarding something we had read. "Blink" definitely provides a lot of food for thought and I can't wait to read Gladwell's other work.

This book is about making decisions. Malcolm is a clear concise writer. He makes his point, and then backs it up. He brings up things from earlier in the book to illustrate a book and tie it together. He is very easy to read.
This book had some thoughts that I had not come up on my own, unlike the Tipping Point. I was very interested in it.
