The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell is an excellent book that describes the trends that things take, and the steps that show what way that product will "tip". He explains how some products explode exponentially and how others just slowly dwindle to nothing never to be produced again.
One thing in particular that makes this book extremely strong is Gladwell's use of examples and support for all of his arguments. His research is very through and makes a lot of sense to the reader. He would bring up these examples again and again because of their validity and strength to make sure the reader remembers.
I would not necessarily say that the book had any weaknesses but the only complaint I have is how wordy it is. It is understandable that this book was written this way because it is an advanced read, but for me I like something a little more relaxing.
Lastly, I must say that all his laws and concepts make a lot of sense. I agree with all of his propositions, especially the "sticky" advertising. It is always easy to remember something if the advertisement is made to stick in your head. This book is very thought provoking and really gets the reader thinking critically.
