Interesting but . . . .

by John T on Feb 13, 2011

This book has some interesting ideas, but it is somewhat annoying. The author is full of himself and wanders off the subject. However, it does get better as you work through it. More

The book arrived with an unreported broken binding. Taleb's content is entertaining and a useful if informal index of authors he mentions in passing, however as a standalone piece, it lacks substantive value (which I'm sure Taleb himself would admit). More

Nice book. Intellectual and eye - opening. I recommend to read this book for everyone interested in different point of view. More

Excellent, Not Jargon-Laden

by gtrachel on Apr 14, 2009

Engaging and intelligently written, without being obscure. As someone who generally reads literature, I nevertheless found the subject matter fascinating and Taleb's style easy to follow. I couldn't stop thinking about it - or talking about it - for weeks after having read it. More
