Negative Positive
Title: Why this book sold in some countries - and not in others
Review: I am currently writing a thesis on sociological behaviour and statistical analysis on human intelligence among and between OECD countries. This book, branded by some European opinion leaders as the "most pathetic and stupid book of the decade", still became a million-plus seller in some (so-called) developed countries, though this phenomenon seemed to be isolated geographically. My thesis will try to unveil if this phenomenon was mainly due to economic behaviour, such as marketing or distribution. Or if it is explained by the somehow globally accepted view that some (so-called) developed countries have intellectually challenged populations.
Is the review positive or negative?
