I really hope that they are going to translate this book, because I have to show it around. I learnt much more while reading it that in my years of debating the subject, sometimes it's really true that images are better that thousands words.
Spero davvero che traducano presto questo libro, perché ho molte persone a cui farlo comprare. Ho imparato di piú mentre lo leggevo che in anni di dibattiti sull'argomento, a volte é proprio vero che un'immagine vale piú di mille parole.

My son and I worked thru this book and it truly helped him understand poor arguments and create better ones for himself.
Got this as a gift as a joke, but turns out is a easy to digest but insightful book. I wish it was required reading for participating in social media, for the lack of basic logic is really painful and damaging to any sort of meaningful social interaction.
This is a terrific concept--I love the idea of taking common logical fallacies, distilling them down to their essences, and illustrating them with cartoons and simplistic examples. The execution left two things to be desired: first, some of the examples were very poor (as in, no one would ever make that argument; it's not merely a fallacy, it's ridiculous. There have to be better possible examples.) Second, the author's political bias was very obvious on nearly every page.
With brilliant illustrations and simple wording, Almossawi breaks down the way arguments are formed. They give multiple examples alongside with bad arguments often relate to each other. This book will be one that I use in my thesis when talking about group think, the Christian church, and sexuality.
Excelente. Uma boa introdução ao ceticismo. E ideal para quem gosta de ler livros não-fictícios. Além disso, é fácil encontrar no livro paralelos com o cotidiano de falácias cometidas pelos outros e, obviamente, por nós.
Recomendo a leitura de "38 Estratégias Para Vencer Qualquer Debate" de Arthur Schopenhauer.

I bought this for my parents so they would stop using logical fallacies against me during arguments
it didn’t work
وجبة دسمة قليلًا على أطفال في مقتبل العمر، وقليلة الكمية لمن يبحث عما هو أكثر من المقدم هنا، لكنه في المجمل يصلح تمهيدًا مبسطًا لمن يحب القراءة عن المنطق والمغالطات المنطقية.
The descriptions of logical fallacies were relatively easy to grasp. The illustrations, while attractive, did not enhance my understanding, and frequently were confusing.
Overall, loved the concept and got a fair amount out of the book, I just wanted the illustrated bits (and their captions, really) to be more connected to the text.
