Outliers II

One thing I forgot to mention in my initial review of Outliers is that for all it's intense intellectualism, Gladwell's style of writing lends itself easily to everyone. Shiterature, one might say. It is an easy style to read. I remember hearing once that Mozart spoke of a "Golden Mean:" music that was sophisticated enough to touch God, but also to move the masses. And that's what I think Outliers is.
