Malcomb Gladwell’s What the Dog Saw

This is an extensive compilation of Malcolm Gladwell’s articles in audiobook form, read by the author. Most were taken from the New Yorker magazine. Gladwell has a circumspect way of examining topics, usually keeping himself unbiased, and coming up with new and surprising conclusions. Much of the material in this audiobook dates to the ’90s, so the reasoning and wrapup of each article aren’t earth-shaking today. 
Gladwell is still a fun read (or listen) so I give this one four stars and recommend his recent work more vigorously.

This is a fascinating journalistic story. The actions of a few individuals caused a plague of addiction and death in SW Virginia. It’s like a butterfly moved a wing and all these mighty repercussions are still taking place.
