It is very well written, in an entertaining style, and an extremely eye-opening look at just how much random events play a role in our lives. We think we are in control and we believe that our skills and talents are primary drivers of our success (or lack of) in life but actually the biggest influences are random events over which we have little or no control at all.

I have read a lot of books but this has certainly become a favourite. I must admit that I have held the views expressed in this book for most of my life and it is great to read them expressed in so interesting and eloquent style.
