Very engrossing book
Revisado: 06-11-12
What made the experience of listening to Spies of the Mississippi the most enjoyable?
The reaffirmation of the belief that there were many people who stood up for their rights despite the great odds against them,
Who was your favorite character and why?
Clyde Kennard because his individual personal struggle seems so worthy.
Have you listened to any of Peter Jay Fernandez’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Many incidents were sad. For instance, I remembered little about the tragic life and heroic actions of Clyde Kennard. Throughout the book, I was hoping something would be done to remember his sacrifice. The author assures us of that near the end of the book.
Any additional comments?
The read was quite short for a book spanning so many years. I was left wanting to hear more details, especially about the black spies and their motivations.

This book is a crash course in effective reasoning, meant to catapult you into a world where you start to see things as they really are, not how you think they are. The focus of this book is on logical fallacies, which, loosely defined, are simply errors in reasoning. By listening to this book, you can make significant improvements in the way you reason and make decisions.

I enjoyed listening to fallacies involved in various everyday conversations, especially as it relates to those in religion. The humor introduced is also enjoyable and tasteful.
Would you be willing to try another book from Bo Bennett? Why or why not?
Yes, it is so educational it is worth rereading several times.
Any additional comments?
Perhaps more analysis of the fallacies introduced at the end of the book. Those were somewhat rushed.
