"As always, Gladwell's sweep is breathtaking and
thought-provoking."--Joe Nocera, New York Times
"Contemporary society can't escape history when Malcolm Gladwell
explains the world as he does with David and
Goliath."--Jane Henderson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Engrossing.... Gladwell's singular gift is animating the
experience of his subjects. He has an uncanny ability to simplify
without being simplistic: clean and vivid Strunk and White prose in
the service of peerless storytelling."--David Takami,
Seattle Times
"Fascinating....Gladwell is a master of synthesis. This perennially
bestselling author prides himself on radical re-thinking and urges
the rest of us to follow suit."--Heller McAlpin, Washington
Post
"Gladwell has made a career out of questioning conventional wisdom,
and here he examines the allegedly unlikely triumph of the weak
over the mighty and shows it's not so unlikely after all. 4
stars."--Judith Newman, People Magazine
"Gladwell's most provocative book yet. David and Goliath
challenges how we think about obstacles and disadvantages, drawing
upon history, psychology, and powerful narrative talent to rethink
how we view the world around us and how to deal with the challenges
life throws at us."--Susanne Jaffe, Columbus Dispatch
"In David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell explores the
dynamics that inform and effect our everyday lives. By analyzing
the Biblical account of the clash between David and Goliath,
Gladwell presents a bold new interpretation of the lessons we
should apply from it."--Today Show
"Provocative....David and Goliath is a lean, consuming
read."--John Wilwol, San Francisco Chronicle
"Truly intriguing and inspiring."--Hector Tobar, Los Angeles
Times
"What propels the book, like all of Gladwell's writing, is his
intoxicating brand of storytelling. He is the master of mixing
familiar elements with surprise counter-intuitions, and then
seasoning with a sprinkling of scientific evidence....Gladwell is a
master craftsman, an outlier amongst authors."--Rob Brooks,
Huffington Post
