A dry, difficult slog where the author does little to make the content enjoyable or plain-spoken. Every example of a fallacy (about religion/politics) invariably portrays a conservative thinker or Christian. Apparently no left-of-center thinker has ever used an appeal to emotion, appeal to authority, a straw man, or made an ad hominem attack against an ideological opponent. Between the stiff, antiquated, hyper-academic, boring presentation and the irritating peck-peck-peck at Christians and conservatives, I just couldn't get through it. That said, the narrator did as good a job as one could possibly do with the content of the book.
