    This was quite a compelling read. All of Gladwell's books are highly informative and creative in depth and presentation. I especially admire how he manages to present facts in such a way that they are interesting instead of dry. The books itself talks about how things that start out very small can progress until they are astronomical in proportion. He uses many case studies to prove his point. These studies come from a variety of different topics including but not limited to, laboratory experiments, military endeavors, and even popular company's distribution. The book uses some advanced language so I would recommend it to those who can understand the meaning behind his words, and for those who enjoy any reading that will get them thinking. If you are not one for challenging topics and new ways of thinking then this book is not for you. It does, however, have an excellent motivational message about how our everyday actions can develop into extraordinary things.
