It is both a crushing and a hopeful thought at the same time.<br /><br />Alyce – Yes, he did a great job narrating – he’s one of those authors than can successfully pull it off (not everyone can …)<br /><br />Hannah – Gladwell definitely turns that theory on its head! I hope you get a chance to read this one.<br /><br />Dreamybee – HA! I like that theory – read the book and let me know if it turns out to be true. ~LOL~<br /><br />Jenn – This is definitely a book to generate discussion. It MIGHT even work for a book club, but I’m not sure about that …<br /><br />N R – I checked out your review and I do agree with many of your points. This book isn’t perfect, but I did really enjoy it … perhaps because it started with ice hockey references?! (Kiddo plays ice hockey.)Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-67322160637033282222010-04-06T04:39:26.200-04:002010-04-06T04:39:26.200-04:00Hi -- Just came across your blog!

I also loved Treasure Island.. <br />Just wanted to leave a note because I didnt quite like Gladwell unlike most of the other commentors.. <br />Here are my (not so) brief thoughts on Gladwell: http://myrandomthoughtsondisplay.blogspot.com/2009/10/secret-to-being-outlier-by-malcolm.htmlN Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094620532254549880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-81860103689389892802010-04-03T18:43:08.230-04:002010-04-03T18:43:08.230-04:00I don't usually read nonfiction.

I think I liked The Tipping Point better, even though I thought that I would like Blink better before I read them. This leads me to believe that I would REALLY like Outliers because so far I've been kind of, "Meh," about reading it. LOL. Your review may have been the tipping point for me. :)Dreamybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274518106482632672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-51750756004314351252010-04-03T03:47:10.383-04:002010-04-03T03:47:10.383-04:00My husband loves Gladwell - and i bought him the o...My husband loves Gladwell - and i bought him the one that has a picture of a dog on the front for Christmas - I think he would like this too. i am fascainted by the concept of the self made man - it is a really important one in our culture as it has to do with social mobility which we all need to believe in but - as Gladwell appears to be saying, might not exist in the way that we think it does. i would love to read this book - thanks so much for posting on it. <br />HannahHannah Stonehamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11139146341592918233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-27735919024352432722010-04-03T02:42:33.837-04:002010-04-03T02:42:33.837-04:00I haven't read this book, but I love Malcolm G...I haven't read this book, but I love Malcolm Gladwell's writing (and his audiobooks - he does a great job reading them). I've listened to The Tipping Point and What the Dog Saw. I'm sure I'll be listening to this one soon too.Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-31266204382563952772010-04-03T01:03:40.579-04:002010-04-03T01:03:40.579-04:00I have heard so much about this book!
