Review # 1 was written on 2015-05-11 00:00:00 Bob Pritekel This is the first of the texts I'm reviewing for potential class use next year. I don't intend to read all of the texts from cover to cover but this book was exceptionally engaging and I opted to do the whole thing. While I don't know that I'll use it as a text, I will absolutely use items and ideas in my lectures. * Very clear, conversational language and a quick read * Points are made cleanly and directly * Lots of cartoons and images to engage visual learners * Short and inexpensive I found myself getting bogged down in the last two chapters ("Deductive and Inductive Argument" and "The Language of Argument - Style") although I'm uncertain if that is due to feeling ready to just be DONE already or if they really were denser, less enjoyable chapters. I may go back and review them a few days/weeks from now to confirm.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-02-03 00:00:00 Paul Woods I read this for second year English in college. I'd recommend it for advanced middle school or high school instead. The book contains useful information and some interesting articles, essays, etc., which are given to show examples of this or that type of reasoning. There are many writing exercises as well, and perhaps if my professor had made use of them, I would appreciate this book more... not certain. Decent book, just not challenging or deep enlugh for college, IMO.
