Title: Feeble attempt at skewering a much better book...
Review: I can't for the life of me understand why a "rebuttal" book should sport a cover so much like its intended target. That said, throwing rocks at a better, more rounded and robust piece like Gladwell's while somehow turning it into a right-wing rant may imply a kind of talent. This author is gifted with the ability to completely misread even the most basic assertions of Blink, and has found ways to present his mangled interpretations in some of the most empty language I've read in a long time. A badly conceived and written book...if you still want to bother reading it, go ahead. You'll wish you read Gladwell's book instead. Too bad this is billed as a rebuttal, because it's clearly out of its league in its attempts to criticize Blink. Did this author even READ Blink?? Made me wonder.One star is too many. Save your money. There are so many good books out there waiting for you!
