It took me a long time to finish listening to this book by Malcolm Gladwell because I didn’t finish it during the first two loans (3 weeks each, so total of 6 weeks) and the loan lapsed so I had to wait for quite a long time in between my readings.
This is an audio book that definitely stands out from almost any other audio books you can find (other than children’s audio books). It was read by the author, with musics, and real clips and audios from some of those scenes that were mentioned. I almost felt like I was watching it rather than listening to it sometimes.
For the content, it’s the usual Gladwell I know, I often wonder how much research he has done in order to produce each of his book. Very informative and organised. It isn’t quite what I expected though, about “talking to strangers” on the front page. Nevertheless, definitely an important book to read for those who need to interact with strangers often and wish to understand strangers better.
