Malcolm Gladwell's fascinating treatise on snap judgments is sure to inspire a following.... The writer is in top form in Blink, and the reading here is a real pleasure. As in the best of Gladwell's work, Blink brims with surprising insights about our world and ourselves, ideas that you'll have a hard time getting out of your head, things you'll itch to share with all your friends." Farhad Manjoo, Salon "I knew from the first few pages of Blink exactly what I thought: I'm gonna be up all night reading this.... Gladwell has rounded up scores of arresting anecdotes to support and advance his thought-provoking theories in this sinuous, fas-cinating narrative.... You can't judge a book by its cover. But Gladwell had me at hello - and kept me hooked to the final page." Jennifer Reese, Entertainment Weekly "Gladwell can be simultaneously lively and serious, with par-ticularly good instincts for finding quirky, varied examples to prove his points." Janet Maslin, New York Times "A really fun ride.... Gladwell offers a near-limitless supply of fascinating anecdotes.... He is without peer in his abil-ity to sum up complex concepts with a simple, tight phrase." Mark Coatney, Chicago Tribune "Royally entertaining.... Gladwell's real genius is as a story-teller. He's like an omniscient, many-armed Hindu god of anecdotes: he plucks them from every imaginable field of human endeavor." Lev Grossman, Time
