“Don't look at the stranger and jump to conclusions. Look at the stranger's world.”

Don't get me wrong - I can never put down a Malcolm Gladwell book or article. However, this one was a harder one to keep me engaged. The premise and the theory are there. So are the intertwining examples. I just feel this could have less examples to connect the dots - at times it felt a bit repetitive. Never felt there was a conclusion, a statement of facts or a final summary. Something to bring it all together.

This sits somewhere between a 3.5 to 4 for me.
