4thace reviewed The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Review of 'The Black Swan' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
He describes a few interesting ideas but presents them in a a manner which has very little appeal to me, with lots of flash and subjectivity. I just got tired of feeling manipulated by the silly writing style and wanted to pick a fight with the author after a certain point. Stories about financial markets have lost a lot of their luster after the crash of 2008, also. As much as I failed to enjoy the experience of reading this, I did learn a few things in the course of reading it, so my rating is higher than my emotional attachment would support.
