Summary: History May be repeating itself
Comment: From today's NY Post
If the Police Department relaxes its enforcement of petty "quality of life" infractions, it could be a turning point back to the days when murders, muggings and mayhem plagued the city, says a law enforcement expert who played a key role in developing the policy. "You might be pointing to a tipping point," said George Kelling, who helped formulate the "broken windows"; approach to policing that was the model for Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's successful zero-tolerance policy. [New York Post]

Summary: So glad I discovered this
Comment: Seller: good price; book was in excellent condition and arrived quickly.
Book: On "The Rachel Maddow Show," the author explained his sociological/philosophical concepts clearly and most interestingly, so I bought this book---and it's written just as clearly and interestingly. The stories, as well as his explanations of events, are fascinating. Now I want to read his other works.

Summary: It is a tipping point, unless it is not
Comment: Malcolm Gladwell writes well. But there is not much substance. Sometimes, there is a point in time something changes dramatically. Sometimes, it doesn't come. These first ones are by definition a Tipping Point. Is there anything really interesting here? Not really. How can a tautology be worth a full book? Pages after pages of blah blah blah....
Customer Rating:
Summary: Enough already.......
Comment: Obviously I am in the minority here - but I was sorely disappointed in what I read of this book.
As a Sociology Major I was excited and all aquiver to read this facinating book. But after the Hush Puppy example in the first few pages of the book I seriously found myself wondering how many examples of the exact same thing I was going to have to read through.
I really do admire the authors boundless enthusiasm for this subject matter - well - at least I did for about the first 50 pages.
Customer Rating:
Summary: fantastic read
Comment: What an interesting read! I really like it when I come across a book that I can't put down. This is one of those really interesting factual reads that gives societal feedback and maybe something that in turn could help the reader. Highly recommendable!
