This easy to read business book is too simple. It is broken into 1-2 page segments all concerning a different topic. The book does not fulfill its title and lacks in content about anything.

I would have thought he could have hired a better writer (or had a better one on staff) to make his books a hit.

Under delivered on my expectations. Fun to read for the first 150 pages, then got very boring very fast. Gladwell's argument was understandable, yet not as convincing as I had hoped. I actually came away feel like if I didn't have the traits of coincidence of the book then I wouldn't be successful or as successful as some.

Though I liked reading this book, I would recommend At Home in the Vineyard: Cultivating a Winery, An Industry and A Life by Susan Sokol Blosser. I am studying business marketing with hopes to work in the wine industry. I have read both these books and found Susan's to be a must read if you are at all interested in Oregon wine, entrepreneurship, or business autobiographies.
