The Tipping Point
How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference
by Malcom Gladwell

Matt Milton's Review:

While a somewhat interesting sociological study, the failure of this book lies in its assumption that our choices somehow make a difference. We are naught but the stinking offal of demons. God hates us. The Devil loves us, but only because of our capacity to suffer and inflict suffering. Also, ideas like the ones in The Tipping Point would make a great plot for a "brain" villain like The Mad Thinker or Lex Luthor. One of those stories where they get at the heroes by turning the public against them. And of course finally someone like Reed Richards figures out what they're doing and finds a cool way to counter it.

Ed Phillips's Review:

This is like that book my grandma is always trying to get me to read about how to influence people and make frinds. Its really boring.

Calvin Schultz's Review:

This is mostly a bunch of claptrap from the "liberal enlightened ones." He goes on and on about how we can't stop kids from smoking, but I bet a good solid belt and some authority would do it!

Judith Tolbert's Review:

Kill me.

Grotuu the Unspeakable's Review:

This book is an excellent study of primate social habits. It describes trends in terms of disease, a metaphor which was quite agreeable to Grotuu, and goes on to elaborate on the three main factors that determine which trends will become "epidemics." Grotuu would particularly like to see this blended with some of his studies in mammalian occultism. For example, suppose Grotuu were to determine that there is wide public appeal for the services of a certain demon, and that Grotuu had already bound such an entity to his service. If Grotuu were able to employ the right connectors and distribute the demon's symbol to enough mavens . . . Ah, but Grotuu neglects the stickiness factor. The secretions of Grotuu's tentacles would probably not have the sort of stickiness the author was referring to. Grotuu must ponder this further.
