I was expecting philosophical quandaries in the vein of the trolley problem, but this is a book about rhetorical fallacies. I'm willing to forgive the misleading, however, because I found it very incisive, easy to understand, and thought-provoking. I do think it's dated, though, and I can't help but wonder what Baggini's thoughts would be on the rhetoric used by today's journalists and politicians-- the same fallacies are in effect, but I think personal bias makes it harder to spot them. Overall, misleading marketing for this book but a good read for anyone wanting to improve their critical thinking skills. If I were teaching a media literacy class I would definitely incorporate passages from this book.
