Tipping Point

Oh, Tipping Point. I had an interesting experience with this one. You know it's a problem when your history textbook is more interesting and attention holding than your AP Language and Composition book. Why would anyone decide that writing an entire book using the same examples MULTIPLE TIMES for each point be a good idea? I mean, fine. It was definitely thought provoking and factual but this is not the kind of book I want to enjoy during my summer vacation. I'd rather watch a documentary. I'm a total nerd but I have my limits. The Tipping Point exceeds my limit. However, that's not to say that this was not a good book with solid concepts. It was definitely interesting to read. For example, a lot of the points he made, like environment having an influence on behavior and how emotions can often be contagious, were related to psychology. I adore psychology, so going through those parts and others definitely sparked my attention. On the other hand, other points mentioned in the novel had merely been facts, which I probably would've found more entertaining in an article online stating random fun facts about life. The style of this book is just not my cup of tea, I guess.
