lacks a comprehensive index to group the fallacies by type or similarity
alphabetized list leaves half the work unfinished.
I'm personally trying to make groups and sub groups to organize the fallacies to bring ease as a reference manual as I go through.
Examples are written well

Every religious apologist should read this book! Their arguments always rely on fallacious reasoning and poorly structured syllogisms. Great guide to expose illogical arguments!

Bought for my son for Christmas, and he loves it. He uses it as a reference guide. Cant have an arguement with him now without him referencing it.

Bo Bennett has produced a well organized reference book, with an exhaustive list of fallacies, each of which is lucidly explained, and supported by good examples.

I bought this book to help me through a philosophy course. While the argument names weren't always identical, the concepts and meanings behind were clear. I look forward to finishing this book as a leisure read instead of an academic one!

a bit difficult to read as a book as the definitions are sometime very similar the added examples and notes from the author are very good.

A succinct yet encyclopaedic work that is frustratingly lacking in structure.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 2, 2018Verified Purchase
I love the author’s style and methodical approach to each chapter. The clear and even writing style is fantastic for comprehension, if a little dry at times. The largest issue is that the chapters appear to be ordered alphabetically, and I wish that they’d gone to more effort to categorise the fallacies according to some kind of higher order. For instance, in Hackett’s text you may find chapter groupings according to, say, ‘source’, ‘cause’, ‘deduction’ and so on which may help to generalise a framework before getting stuck into the weeds. For that reason I can’t recommend this as a first text.

Reasoning Correctly And Incorrectly.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 4, 2012Verified Purchase
This book is an education in the art of reasoning. Something few of us are actually any good at. It's an wonderfully entertaining read for those of us who would like to argue or debate or for those who would like to improve their reasoning skills. And since it's written for the layperson, no specialist knowledge is required.
The amount of bad logic and fallacious reasoning that's exposed in each of the over 300 examples had me transfixed. Fascinating and enlightening for those of us who are willing to learn. It's those who argue for the the supernatural that come out of this book the worst, by far. In the Introduction, the author says: ''In debating claims against the supernatural, I have found that in virtually all situations, what is trying to be passed off as a magically delicious argument, it is actually just logically fallacious - no magic involved.'' But we're all guilty at times of using logic incorrectly. Everyone of us! If you don't believe me, then read this book. You'll be surprised!

Interesting catalogue of fallacies.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 26, 2014Verified Purchase
This is a pretty simple to read and understand book. I'd recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more about the many different ways people err in reasoning. From what I've seen, this is one of the more comprehensive books on fallacies. I think each fallacy is explained adequately. It's useful if you are interested in improving your reasoning ability.

Nice collation of logic errors.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2013Verified Purchase
This is a novel and thought-provoking compendium of logical fallacies. It is quite well put together and gives readily understood examples of the traps people fall into. The author (non-British-English) could have spent a little more time proof-reading it though as there are several examples of incomplete sentences or poor grammar in the book which detract from its overall polish and professionalism.
