This book is a good review of what happened in the world in the last 15 years or so. It tells us that the world is flat, and it explains why the world went flat. For the free thinkers, that is nothing new and we don't really need to be told, because we noticed that long time ago. Still, it's interesting to read (free thinkers like to read, don't they?). For the ones who have a harder time getting things, this is a great book that will open their eyes.There are good things and bad things about the book. In general, the sources of information of Friedman are good and first-hand (friends of him who are CEO's at so many hot spots!), and he gives us many examples so we get the point. Bad thing about it is that the book is supposed to be a "brief" history of the 21st Century, and sometimes it takes forever to get to the point, with many examples that are not necessary because we get the point right away. I mean, 496 pages are too much. The book would be enough with 200. And better. Shortes is always better! (It's like that quote that says "I'm sorry I could not write you a shorter letter, I didn't have time!).Another thing that is good is the list of the ten forces that flattenered the wolrd. It is well explained with lots of examples (sometimes too many!). Then what it's bad is the way the book is outlined. It's not balanced, and the conclusion is not a good one. It doesn't summarize the whole book, and adds more material when this is not something that is supposed to do in a conclusion. I liked very much the analisys of the Arab-Muslim world. It's full of true things out of stereotypes.Anyway, in conclusion, I give this book a 4 stars rating, because it is a good book that tells us very interesting stuff about the world we live today, and I recommend it to anyone, free thinker or not.
