I enjoyed Talking
to Strangers but wasn't sure at the end what the main message was meant to
be. I've read previous books by this
author - David & Goliath, The
Tipping Point
Talking to
Strangers is about the difficulties in assessing other people's behaviours –
are they telling the truth? Are they
hiding something? He looks at some
notorious crimes and police actions and asks why it went so wrong.
One thing I
was surprised by is just how tethered to place various behaviours seem to be.
I definitely want to read this book. I read several of his books and have found them well worth reading. Some people are skilled liars and can lie on the witness stand. I am always skeptical of accusations, many turn out to be false. Nice review.
ReplyDeleteI have read "The Tipping Point and really liked it and the message in it, I haden't heard about this one, so it's good to know he has written another interesting book. Thanks.
