I LOVED it!!! It is such a smart book.  Gladwell is great about making sense of something that could easily become hard to understand.  He teaches you how to read into things and truly grasp the reasoning behind a conclusion/end result. Talk about Devil’s advocate! It’s not only interesting but intriguing. Any sociologist would revel in this book. Ask yourself why certain people are so successful, and Outliers will give you an easy answer.  If you enjoyed both Tipping Point and Blink, no doubt you’ll enjoy Outliers.

I couldn’t put the book down. What a great read! The book is thought provoking and makes for good discussion. Set in Germany, during World War II, two unlikely individuals happen to meet and have an affair. You can’t help but want to judge the primary character Hanna but also ask your self, “What would YOU do?” I’d highly recommend it to a group of friends who would enjoy a controversial (in more ways than one) book chat.
