    Found it repetitive at times. The same points were reiterated throughout the book. I think it could’ve been shorter.

    Another Gladwell classic! Makes you think about the morality of war in a new light. Highly recommend.

  10. Aman Kumar Sah –

    I enjoyed learning about the history, but the author seemed to excuse some pretty questionable decisions. Mixed feelings overall.

  11. Ishika Agrawal –

    I struggled to get through this one. The pacing was off. It felt slow and repetitive. I did not enjoy this book.

  12. Anonymous –

    A thought-provoking read. Gladwell explores the complexities of war and technology, but sometimes feels a bit too focused on the ‘idea’ rather than the human cost.

  13. Chaitanya –

    Interesting concept, but I found it dragging at times. The constant shift between ideas and history felt disjointed. Still worth reading though.

  14. Shekhar Sharma –

    Not Gladwell’s best, but still a solid read. The moral questions raised are important, even if the answers aren’t clear.

    A quick and insightful read. Gladwell brings his signature style to a complex topic, but it felt somewhat simplified.

    While informative, the book lacked emotional depth. It felt detached from the human suffering of the war.

    Captivating story! The Bomber Mafia explores how good intentions can lead to devastating outcomes. Worth reading.

    A balanced and engaging exploration of a controversial topic. Gladwell presents both sides of the argument effectively.

    Well-researched and compelling, but could have been more critical of the characters involved. Still, a worthwhile exploration of a pivotal moment.

    Gladwell’s storytelling is top-notch. The book is full of interesting details. I couldn’t put it down!

    Intriguing look at the history of precision bombing. Though, I wish the narrative was more engaging and less like a lecture.

    The writing style was engaging, and the historical context was insightful. Highly recommended for those interested in WWII history.
