funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

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.

Like the back cover says - this is a good book for people with opinions.
It'll definitely help you argue better, so if you do have opinions, and you like to finish a discussion having the advantage, this little thing will get into your subconscious and help you realize when your argument buddy is BSing.
Also, illustrations are dope.

I think I followed about 82% of the ideas in this book, which makes me proud of myself. My favorite quote: "You can't threaten an atheist with hell. It doesn't make any sense. It's like a hippie threatening to punch you in your aura".

An outstanding book listing common logical fallacies . I loved the fact that the author has actually created a tree structure

This book is cute light reading on stupid arguments. For example, there are strawman arguments which misrepresent and attack people, and there are slippery slope arguments which repeatedly jump to conclusions.
