"Lived up to it's name: It was very short, and it did a nice job of introducing a very broad range of topics concerning logic. The bibliography seems good, and I'll be using it to further my study of the subject."
"This is a very good book, but it is not an introduction to logic. It really does introduce all the interesting topics that one ought to be introduced to in logic. However the main focus of the book seems to be a demonstration of the problems with contemporary logic. Graham Priest definitely has an agenda, and he certainly wants to argue for the acceptance of his own paraconsistent logic. There is a lot to recommend it. Each chapter tries to illustrate a rather interesting philosophical point, that is worth reading independent of the logic. Overall it is well written and a quick read."
"I didn't enjoy this VSI at all. It wasn't very well put together and the arguments and explanations were confusing. While I admit that the subject matter is difficult, the way that basic tenets of logic were explained wasn't clear. I was definitely not impressed by this volume."
