The Fallacy Detective is written primarily for homeschoolers, especially Christian homeschoolers. Most college graduates who took philosophy/logic will recognize the fallacies and will appreciate the simple and practical description of those fallacies and the examples of each. There are exercises at the end of each short chapter to check for understanding.

Are you tired of pointless, loud arguments? Do you want to know where you're going wrong with your reasoning? Read this book. Thank me later.
LOL! This April fools' day, the joke's on me! You could say I made some false assumptions about this book when I picked it out from the library, and then went recommending it (at least putting it on my Education Resources book list) before thoroughly reading it. I was pleased to flip through and see headings on ad hominem, red herring, straw man, faulty appeal to authority, loaded question, appeal to fear, either-or, etc. I assumed the purpose of the book was to teach 'how to recognize bad reaso..more

Although the book is labeled as 'for ages twelve through adult' and I purchased this book to teach informal logical fallacies to my high school daughters, my nine-year-old son read and loved it as well. The book is well written in a humorous, conversational style, replete with comics that illustrate the various fallacies, and has exercises that build on and review everything covered in each section. And while it is not difficult to read, the exercises are challenging, and even as an adult who ha..more
I'd heard such rave reviews about this book throughout the home-schooling community, but was disappointed when I finally purchased it. Although I'm sure there are excellent logical arguments, I was immediately turned off by what I felt was the superiority complex of the authors.

This was one of the best school books ever!
All of us, including children, should be capable of picking out false presentations, particularly because we are in America, a country saturated with commercial enterprises seeking a sale and politicians seeking office. An understanding of simple logical fallacies is a top priority for any citizen. Too many Americans are duped because they don't recognize the falsity of messages directed their way from a multitude of sources from the White House down to the local car dealership.

This review says The Fallacy Detective is better than The Amazing Dr. Ransom's Bestiary of Adorable Fallacies.
A must for middle school and high school for critical thinking in a non-overwhelming way!
Dec 15, 2016Jeannie T. rated it it was amazing · review of another edition
Book is a fun-filled way to examine fallacies in everyday life. It is a workbook with activities and solutions provided. The activities are quick enough to do during a short time period or can easily be adapted for longer discussions in a group setting. The book is filled with comics illustrating fallacies in a humorous way. It is a quick read and a definite go to when trying to explain logic to teenagers of all ages.

Reading this in class at Co-op. An excellent introduction to logic, I only wish that the examples were not so US-centric. The children are definitely learning though, and works well in a 30m class. I also do a sheet of logic cartoons to go with the chapter topic - v easy to find with Google, lots of great ones out there.
A nice introduction to the fallacies, written by local, former homeschooled brothers. We liked the simple, easy to read explanations of the fallacies, many of which have become a common part of our language around home. Watch out, your kid may call you on a few. ;)

I did this last year, and it was a ton of fun. Yay for logic! :P I'm pretty common-sense/logic minded, so this is definitely my thing.

We read a short story in my class called, 'Love is a Fallacy.' Last year one of my students said I should get The Fallacy Detective, because she recognized the fallacies in the short story, because her mom had read and discussed the book with her when she was younger. So I asked for this book when we had to choose one.

I wasn't impressed with this book for most of the time we were reading it. I felt the examples were irrelevant and silly. Then o realized it was combating illogical thoughts that were different than what I was looking for. I wanted a book that taught logic in relation to conversation and debate whereas this book was mostly directed toward advertising. Once I began viewing the examples in that light, my opinion of the book improved. Now I need to find a logic book with a conversational focus.

This format is a workbook complete with activities and solutions, and it is a creative way to explain logic to teenagers. This would be easy to use for small group activities and discussion. It provides students with a variety of methods for analyzing everyday fallacies.

Easy to read, humorous, and a very handy reference to have. Of special use is the summary of fallacies at the back. The only problem I had was that I read a Kindle edition and it was sometimes tedious switching from exercises to the answers.

This is a great book for kids and adults who want to enhance their foundations in basic logic. Very informative and a great read.
An excellent book. I read with my 12 and 13 year old boys who enjoyed it and learned a lot.

We used this as a homeschool text this year. The youngest regular participant was 9, and that went well. It's a fun introduction to these fallacies, and it's silly enough that the kids looked forward to it. Some of the fallacies could use more explanation, and some of the questions in the exercises were more ambiguous that would have been ideal (though debates can be part of the fun), but it was an excellent way to start conversations about more logical thinking.

I found The Fallacy Detective by Nathaniel Bluedorn and Hands Bluedorn to be a helpful resource. You will never listen to an advertisement, debate, persuade or write the same way again!
I think that believers should know their logic -- after all, God is a God of order! I appreciate the Bluedorns' heart behind the book. In their words: 'We see a need for Christians to strive for a higher standard of reasoning. We believe God wants his people to become aware of their lack of discernment, and logic..more
