I love this book . . . reading it will actually change not just
how you see strangers, but how you look at yourself, the news - the
world. Reading this book changed me. * Oprah Winfrey *
A dazzling book . . . Gladwell is a rock star of nonfiction
. . . Stories are well selected and brilliantly told, ideas are
slowly revealed until the reader arrives at a conclusion they
didn't expect. Gladwell is advancing ideas and, sure, they are all
open to challenge . . . but they are stimulating and convincing -
and you won't regret a minute you spend mastering them * The Times
*
Superb writing. Masterful... bears all the marks that have
made Gladwell one of the most successful non-fiction authors of
his generation. -- Pilita Clark * Financial Times *
A wonderful provocation which Gladwell delivers like no
other, an awakening to just one of the fascinations that lie in
ordinary human experience . . . as ever, Gladwell's genius is in
the telling. * Spectator *
Fascinating... you should read the book. Not only will it
change the way you see and approach strangers, the precision with
which he analyses the incident is one of the most powerful and
damning indictments you'll read of race relations in American
society. -- Sathnam Sanghera * The Times Magazine *
Malcolm Gladwell made his name bringing intellectual sparkle to
everyday subjects, and his new book - about how strangers talk to
each other - is no exception. -- Sean O'Hagan * Observer *
Gladwell's new book looks set to cause another stir with its
exploration of why ordinary human encounters sometimes end in
catastrophes. * Radio Times *
