As horrible as the title of this book sounds, it was actually a decent read. I wouldn't recommend it as a pleasure read by any means; it was rather a nice primer on the current state of rhetoric.

I really enjoyed the chapters in Part II. It would be interesting to hear his take on the topics of political rhetoric and media rhetoric in light of the Obama and Trump administrations and the “fake news” phenomenon.

I read this for my college Literacy and Rhetoric class. I can't decide if I liked it or not— while Booth presents an articulate overview of the issue he calls "rhetrickery," I found myself wanting a more modern perspective.
