A fun, fast read about the many ways biased and incomplete language feeds polarized views.

I enjoyed this concise collection of the types of logic failures so common in conversation and debate, and I found the explanations excellent (mostly) but I have to admit to finding the illustrations, skilful though they are, a bit obscure. Some worked, but others just failed to clearly illustrate the fallacy they were paired with.

Still, it's a book I'll enjoy referring to now and then, if only to remind myself not to fall down the slippery slope of logical fallacies.

Entertaining, easy to remember, and logically sound - the perfect tool for learning about logical fallacies if you're short on spoons or short on patience for long winded dry writing.
