Very funny. A little light on philosophical depth, OK.
It's ok. But the jokes' relationship to what is being exemplified is often tenuous and forced potentially leading to greater confusion than clarity. Some of the explanations of various fallacies are quite good but, ironically, I wouldn't recommend this book as an introduction to good thinking.
