Outliers: The Story of Success

In just one week, this book transformed a relatively normal woman into someone who's been saying, "Well, in this book I'm reading. . . you know, Outliers? Yeah, there's this section on. . . there's this part about. . . You should read this chapter. . . No, no, just wait here and let me read these 3 pages out loud for you. . . Have you read it? Oh, you haven't? Let me just show you this one page, it'll just take a minute!"
I can't think of one reason why you shouldn't join me in my enthusiasm.

Julie, my 11th grader was just mentioning he wants to read a book called Outliers, and I was searching to see what it was all about. I believe this is the right book! I'm glad to see your enthusiasm for this! Do you think it would keep the interest of a 16 year old boy? He seemed pretty excited about it, so I think that alone should be enough to encourage him :)

Candi, I am not exaggerating when I tell you that I think about this book every couple of weeks, and I still quote from it. My son was just about your son's age, when I made him read it! Fascinating stuff!

I think he said something like. . . you read almost the whole book aloud to me before you handed it to me, Mom. Do you think that would translate to 4 stars?

Lol! At least 4! Maybe 4.5 ;)
Julie, had exactly the same experience as you had with this. I think I told the whole book frim start to finish at least twice.
just started with this one. thanks for building up my excitement!!
Aayushi,I can't imagine that you're going to have anything other than fun with this one! I love this book.
I loved this one too! It was a read aloud with my husband on a road trip several years ago. I really enjoyed having the immediacy to talk about points as we read.
