Loved it!!
To be an adroit rhetorician, you need to perceive and interpret logical fallacies and untruths in reasoning by mistake or intent. You can then proceed to avoid them yourself and can point them out in another person's argument. I have performed this in court when an arrogant lawyer for the plaintiff assume that we, the jury, were barely capable of tying out own shoes much less to see how condescending his argument and treatment of us was. He went on to demonizing the defendants adding straw man after straw man. When I was asked a question I stated that his opening argument was seriously flawed and as a result I was told my services were no longer needed. This book got me out of jury duty. Five stars seems a trifle low...

Concise and straight to the point
Covers the most frequent logical fallacies and has good verbal explanations. It is important to not just show them but also explain them. Could have covered more logical syllogisms and fallacies, but she covered the most frequently encountered fallacies. Great book.

Useful advice to improve your logic and thinking
This is a brief book which provides a very fine overview on how to improve our logic and thinking. It has clear examples. It has a bit of a text book presentation to it, which is appropriate, and I will return to the book for further study. But I have learned more about being a clear thinker and this is definitely a good thing. So, the mission is accomplished and this is another good addition to the literature on logic and clear thinking.

Logic is its own reward
Summary of logical paths, traps, and rewards. The book would have benefitted from more complete introductions of each section and explanations of groupings that were offered and why they were grouped. D
