Gadfly-Gladwell
Mr Gladwell has collected an interesting set of anecdotes loosely connected to short time spans and pulls them together without much logic or structure and with many internal contradictions. Sometimes experts are people who have analysed their topic (e.g. food) so that they have access to their sub-conscious whereas non-experts flounder around with holistic impressions, sometimes experts have such finely tuned intuitions that they can instantly say that, for example, a statue is fake, but they have no access to the (highly trained) sub-conscious that tells them this. Ignore pedants like me, Mr Gladwell's amiable muddle-through will provide entertainment and food for thought (especially about prejudice) for any reader.

Simply fascinating
Fascinating story, brought to us in a simple, yet interesting way. So much to learn from it. The book may change lives and not just of the readers but of those with whom they will interact in the future. Highly recommended.

Expected a bit more but entertaining enough
Somewhat entertaining but not sure how much I learnt. A lot of ways to describe first impressions. However, I do like the concept of thin slicing and using our unconcious mind without the realization.

intriguing, fascinating but alittle laboured
A very insightful read, but laboured in places. Made me want to explore the subject further
