I would have to agree with the review. This book is a page turner in the same way the "Da Vinci Code" was a page turner. Gladwell says nothing new, and sometimes, if you analyse it properly, says little at all. What he does well though, is "cut and paste" and add a bit od colour to (sometimes) dry academic works. His writing style is frequently pedestrian, and his constatn use of asking th reader questions would not be out place in a kindergarden school- a book for the American mass market so!
