Rhetoric-Fallacy Detective

Hola, and welcome to the next Rhetoric book. Wait, what? There's another rhetoric book I have to groan through? Yes, but it is not that bad! "It Couldn't Just Happen" wasn't terrible either was it? This book is really interesting. It's called "The Fallacy Detective" by Nathaniel and Hans Bluedorn. 

Awesome book. I love it! This book (as it says on the cover) has 38 lessons on how to recognize bad reasoning. Don't you love it already? It's also really really really easy to understand. The setup of the book is this: It has you read about the fallacy, and then you do exercises on it. 
Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa simple! It's really easy. Also, there is an answer key in the back of the book, but DO NOT LOOK AT THE ANSWERS UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THE EXCERSISES. Please, for my sake. 

I hope this explains "The Fallacy Detective" to you, even if the book itself is rather straightforward. If you have questions, leave them in the comments and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. Until next post!
