Short review because there's not a lot to cover with it. I read this book because I had been hearing portions while my roommate listened to her audio version of it. While not one for "self-help" books or "how-to-be successful" guides, this one struck me as interesting because it's not really either of those. Outliers just really talks about how success is luck and how it isn't luck.

Gladwell is a true storyteller holding your attention with each example he gives, and even when he gets into more fact heavy portions his writing style still keeps you engaged. At no point did I find the book getting really dry and boring, which is often the case with a lot of non-fiction books. Obviously the subject matter is something fascinating, but the presentation could easily have gone bad.

Everyone is going to get something different out of this book. Some may get life-altering information, others just a good read, and then people who leave with the fact that while in the end you can make your own success, in almost all situations it's what you're dealt with in life that can really make or break you. Success is luck you shape.
