mystimayhem 's review for:
An Illustrated Book of Bad Arguments
by Ali Almossawi
Some fallacies are explained really well and the funny illustrations help as concise little examples. But there are a lot of fallacies that aren't explained very clearly at all. Also, it could have been better organized, maybe with a sectioned added here and there for comparing and contrasting similar fallacies. It seemed like a lot of the entries went like this: here is an example of fallacy x. It's actually an example of fallacy y with elements of x. Neither of which should be confused with fallacy z, which this particular example makes nearly indistinguishable.
It's not terrible. It's a good little refresher guide if logic and fallacies are something you're already fairly familiar with, but as an introduction to the subject, I think it would make it hard to distinguish between fallacies with commonalities.
