I don’t know why, but I just don’t like this guys books. To me, the concepts he talks about are obvious. I believe I got more value from reading Fixing Broken Windows entry on Wikipedia and abstracting the concept out in my own mind – and that was a paragraph or two.

I also wonder if Mr. Gladwell is sponsored by big tobacco – a whole chapter dedicated to talking about how cool smokers are? Come on! hehehehe

I wholeheartedly agree with the comment that this could have been condensed down to 50 pages.
