Fallacy in Critical Thinking

The brothers Nathaniel and Hans Bluedorn have written an easy to understand book in the common fallacies of reasoning that break logical arguments. As an elderly reader who has forgotten much of the material, it is a refreshing and humorous reminder of these basic fallacies. Written for a 7th grade reading ability, it nonetheless is enjoyable for all ages. Critical thinking is a lost discipline in modern life since the government schools deliberately dumb down education to keep the masses stupid. Coming from a Christian world view these home school taught boys revive this lost discipline in a fun manner.

A Good Book...

I think this is a good book. I thought I would be able to use it for my 11 year old even though it is recommended for 13 and up. I read a few pages myself and though it was a very interesting book.
