Non-fiction
One word to describe this book: interesting
Would you recommend? Yes
Comment: By focusing on people and their stories the author shows that success is a gift. He explains how outliers benefit by seizing special opportunities and lucky breaks. I also enjoyed his earlier book "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" that tells about the powers of rapid cognition, i.e., intuition.
Comment: I enjoy all types of mysteries, and this light-hearted murder mystery is just right for a hot summer day. I actually found myself laughing out loud!
