Title: I'm still a fool after reading this book
Product review: PROS:* The book argues an important message (that we underestimate the role of luck in our results/outcome).* A few interesting anecdotes.CONS:* Although the author is self-deprecating at times, it smells more of false modesty rather than geniune humility (which he argues everyone should have). Most of the time (as other reviewers have noted) his arrogance comes out loud and clear, and that's annoying.* Disjointed style of writing. He rambles, jumps around, and writes in awkward sentences. The writing doesn't flow easily.* Disorganized. He proclaims that he doesn't like to use headers that tell the reader much about what is coming up. For non-fiction books, I prefer clarity, rather than cuteness.CONCLUSION: There are brief moments of brilliance and lucidness, brief moments when you think the book is really going to be worth reading, and then it quickly vanishes. Unfortunately, it's also a hard book to skim. I don't recommend it.
