1.0 out of 5 stars If I don't want to listen the author's argument, then he's not a good teacher., April 7, 2008

This review is from: A Rulebook for Arguments (Paperback)
The book assumes you are interested in rational arguments. In any case the book is not interesting to read. I know little about arguments, but if the argument isn't interested, whether it is good or not is secondary. In order to win any argument or succeed you must first be interesting. This books fails at that.

I'd love to know who the two people that found the review helpful were. Proud parents of the reviewer?

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring -
review by houseblend
I don't want writing advice from a someone who can't write., April 7, 2008
This book is boring. I used it for killing flies. Any book on writing should be amazing -- why would you want to learn from writing from someone who was not good?
Other good books include: Secrets of the Written Word, and On Writing Well.
