Title: David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants
Author: Malcolm Gladwell
Genre: Nonfiction
Published: October 1, 2013
This book is full of stories where the little guy managed to beat the favored party.
It was obvious how the author felt about certain issues. In this context that really should be expected. The stories were well researched and told well. There were certain chapters I had to push to get through. The dyslexia chapter and the chapter about the three strike penalties were not easy chapters for me.
The last chapter about Le Chambon was absolutely fabulous. It was about one of my favorite time periods, WWII, and was a story I had never heard before about people who were wonderful.
In the different examples used throughout the book I was interested how the people were able to accomplish everything they did and the different ways they were able to make those accomplishments.
Overall I gave this book 4 stars out of 5.
