Gladwell's first two books were both excellent, but this book is even better -- his best wook yet and probably the best non-fiction book of 2008 (although Hot, Flat, and Crowded is in the debate, among others). The book gets a little slow in the middle, but, overall, it is just fascinating. I think everyone should read this book. Grade: A

How did this movie get nominated for an academy award? It was terrible --- slow, confusing, and completely without closure. I know the movie was trying to communicate a certain unpleasant message about oil and the world we live in, but, really, you couldn't communicate that message more coheriently than that?
