Malcolm does a good job in uncovering the real reasons for why midgets win against giants using David & Goliath as the first insightful example among many interesting stories & tales from past legends and current businesses

Malcolm Gladwell has always been good at analyzing things & giving suitable examples; David & Goliath is in the same league as Outliers, Blink, etc.

The book very nicely explains the concept of why Underdogs tend to surprise us so much by differentiating between perceived scenario & actual scenario. Overall a very good read..

The book was just like Malcolm Gladwell's other books - insightful, lots of data and ideas etc
The online webreader experience of flipkart was bad. I understand it was a beta version - but full screen wasn't working properly, it couldnt remember which page I was at before, there were some pop up boxes that refused to go, hindering the page viewing experience. Would definitely try out some other vendor before trying out Flipkart's e book.

Very good book, meets the standards of earlier books, though summarization was a bit abrupt as compared to other books by this author

The book may leave you sad about every 'gift-of-God'-esque possessions you have, as chapter by chapter, they become harbingers of a boring life ahead.
It's a good book though.

it looked like a sermon to me, from Bible, in initial turnings of the book..pls look into other reviews before purchasing..Read Gladwell's other books, were good frm beginning..this one not perhaps..!!
