Book's tone changes in a "Blink" of an eye

I was first caught by the title and cover of this book. It was fairly plain with "Blink" written boldly across the front. I read the blurb on the inside cover about what it was about and thought I would take a chance at reading it.

The book starts out great with a few stories about people making snap decisions without knowing they were doing it. That drew my attention and I kept reading. The theories that the author was giving seemed to make sense and were interesting to think about.

However, towards the middle of the book the tone of the writing changed. I am still not able to put my finger on how it changed but it almost seems that the author was hurried to get the book done and to the editor and so he became less thoughtful and more erratic in his theories and explanations.

The worst part of the book is that it just ends abruptly. There isn't really a review of what was talked about and how it all fits together. The last theory is given and the book ends.

If you have time on a plane to read the book, it might be worth it. But I'm not sure I would sit down and read this book for fun knowing what I know now about it.
