My opinion of Blink

I don't usually read scientific book but this is one that I would definitely recommend. One aspect in particular that I have enjoyed is the author's style. Gladwell is good at connecting with the reader. I actually feel as if he is talking to me and I think that engages the reader more than just stating facts. I also like the fact that he provides test/riddles for the reader. He talks about how most people react to  different phsycological tests and we can actually take them ourselves to see how we compare and get a better understanding of how they work. In addition, the author keeps that book moving at a moderate pace. He doesn't dwell on any one topic for too long and he finds ways to connect them to each other as the book progresses. I don't think that there is anything I dislike about this book. It is a science book so it can be a little dry at times due to the lack of a plot or story but that is to be expected and I think Gladwell does a good job of using everyday language and explaining technical terms.
