Good book

I like Gladwell so I was stoked to see him writing on the subject. Especially liked that he shot down the notion that the Norden sight was not all it was cracked up to be. Overall wish it was a longer book though, only 200 pages and small page size, I was able to read it cover to cover in a couple hours.

A magazine article that got made into a book !

Save your time and money for other books on the same subject. This one is poorly written, difuse and wanders in it's narrative. I had high hopes but was dissappointed in the result.
