How have I heard this book?

One day, my husband got a book as a present from his parents. The name of the book is Outliers. He read the whole book in 4 days. I was so amazed because my husband has always told me that he is a slow reader. He triggered my curiosity, so I asked him what kind of book that was. He told me, "just read it. You will know." I started reading the book. Since my first language is not English, it is pretty hard to understand many books for adults. However, the book Outliers was very well organized, so I could understand the book really well. I was so eager to read the book every single day and read the book every single day. It was a part of me for a while.

What's amazing about this book?

The reason why this book is very unique and special is because even though it is about some successful people, it does not talk about so what I should do or if people follow what the successful people did, everyone will be successful. Instead, the author, Malcom Gladwell, analyzes and explains how and why they could success. The book more focuses on the analyzing rather than telling people what we have to do in order to success. There are adequate information and research for those of you who want logical and rational information about anything. The book was very persuasive. My school, Georgia Tech Language Institute, even used this book as a class book.

An interesting story behind

As I told you guys, I was really into this book, so I looked for the book Outliers in Korean. Guess what? I found a Korean version of the book, so I bought it right away! I read the Korean version of Outliers meanwhile read the English version of Outliers. (It became my hobby since I am a bilingual.) Later, I found out that there were some pages missing in Korean Outliers. It was about Korean airlines. Mostly, they left out the list of crashes that Korean air had. First of all, I thought that was intimidating because many Koreans may read and think that nothing was happened. Also, there is a famous quote in Korea saying that there is no future for countries who forget about their histories. Before I think too much of it, I decided to email the Korean book company who published the book and the supervisor of the book. I got a response from them. The reason why they l decided to leave out the list of airplane crash was because they thought that it would have been too harsh for both Koreans and Korean airlines. They also did not want to have any trouble with Korean airline Which kind of make sense in Korean culture. The book company's job was just translating the original book, but it's a Korean book company. How many people want to reveal their countries' tragedy to the world? Also, Korean airline is one of the biggest airlines, and it has one of the best services nowadays. It is understandable that the book company omitted the list of Korean air crashes, but it would have been better if they kept the fact and smoothen the fact little bit so that they still present the fact but in a reasonable way.
