Book Review: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop TalkingQuiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I think I finished this book relatively faster than my usual rate, at first I really enjoyed it and read it word for word, I felt like my older sister talking to me and sharing amazing insight about the nature of introverts and their origins. It fascinated me -being an introvert myself- .. yet by the time I reached mid of this book I began skipping chapters and jumping from page to page. Maybe that's because the idea is grasped easily and it didn't need the repeated long narrated stories .. or maybe because this book was published some years ago and its ideas have already spread out to the world so reading about it now became "common sense" about introverts.
Anyhow, I did enjoy understanding where the fame/need for extroverts came from with the old history dating back to the early 1900s. I also enjoyed the validation that all the discomfort I felt around extroverts is perfectly normal, yet there is always room for stretching it.
