    DEFINITE MUST READ FOR SEEKERS OF TRUTH

    This book is one of the most interesting books I've ever read. It's easy to read in the sense that the arguments are presented in everyday language, with funny examples, and are explained thoroughly. The fallacies discussed in this book are fallacies everyone is guilty of doing at some point. The goal is to stop using them! It talks about the lack of serious political debate nowadays due to the Motive Fallacy, using the "but still" clause in your arguments, how you really have no right to your own opinions, how we tend to follow authority (right or wrong), and explains why all intelligent, concerned young people are leftists (anti-free trade, pro-environment protection, in favor of redistribution of wealth, a bit feministy, and atheists). This book will enlighten you for sure. Read it with an open mind, wrestle with the topics, try to avoid the fallacies in your lives (or at least be on the lookout) and recommend it to another person to help out humanity.

    A good and helpful overall book.

    One of the main reasons for why I chose to read this book is that not only did it seem interesting to me, but it also seemed to have the potential to actually be used in real life as a tool to separate b.s. from truth. This book provides the means to do that, it helps you look at what is going on around you from a different perspective, a realistic point of view that makes it possible to get the truth from lies. Never again will I look at the world in the same way, this book taught me to read between the lines and understand what is reality and what is fiction that was designed to hide that reality. Also, this book is enjoyable to read. Instead of reading a seemingly never ending text of information, it feels like having a conversation with a friend. This book tackles the issues with a sense of humor and realism that only benefits the reader's chances of understanding what the author is trying to convey. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to find out about the fallacies this world contains and how to avoid them. If you think you know about this already, you don't. Read this book and see for yourself.
