Review
“In the vast world of nonfiction writing, Malcolm Gladwell is as close to singular talent as exists today.”
“Gladwell’s real genius is as a storyteller. He’s like an omniscient, many-armed Hindu god of anecdotes: he plucks them from every imaginable human endeavor.”
“The most original American journalist since the young Tom Wolfe…Nobody else writes the kind of stories he does, because nobody else thinks the way he does.”

Malcolm Gladwell’s THE BOX SET includes a bonus feature, appears unabridged on 22 CDs, and is narrated by Gladwell himself, who does a fine job of narrating THE TIPPING POINT, BLINK, and OUTLIERS. The deluxe box set offers all three books in one easy package and is a ‘must’ for business and self-help collections already seeing popularity with any of the separate titles.
I must admit I was hesitant to purchase this set. I had let a friend-of-a-friend borrow my hardcover copy of Blink…and never got it back. Gladwell’s books all have a certain clean "look" to them, and this set did not appear to keep up with that appearance. As I did not own Tipping Point, I took it upon myself to order this particular box set of Gladwell books instead of picking up individual books — I am incredibly impressed with what I received.
I do not want to downplay the quality of the typical hardcover prints of these books, as the quality is fine. But the quality of THIS set is much better, in my opinion. First of all, as the books do not have dust covers they have a nice texture to the cover. Second, these books are noticeably bigger — while the width is simliar, these books are around an inch taller and a half-inch deeper. Third, the paper used for the book feels to be a better quality — thicker to the touch, feeling as there is more to them (I routinely felt like I was turning multiple pages when I was only turning one). Also, in this version, you do get some drawings by Brian Rea throughout the books — a nice addition. I happened to note that this set was printed in Italy, while the traditional hard cover books were printed in the USA (this matters to some people).
I have to say I am incredibly pleased with my purchase. If you are a fan of Malcolm Gladwell and your books are showing some wear, I would not hesitate to recommend you treat yourself to this set. They’ll look great on your desk, on your book shelf, or in your hands.
It is boring to re-read an entire book, but not boring to hear Malcolm Gladwell repeated many times. His credibility and personality, plus his lyrical voice, make it enjoyable to listen again and again to his books. This repeat of the listening and learning process helps master his important concepts, and to isolate those which apply to your life, your relationships and your business opportunities.
