The authors teach a course on this topic, and this book felt like a textbook in some ways - with chapters identifiable as classes. Contains humor and anecdotes, but only the last two chapters feel up to par.

The second to last chapter is a summary of the previous classes, er, chapters. If you are at all curious about the topic, start there (or maybe jump there after the intro). The last chapter comes back to the title itself, calling out bullshit when you see it. The focus here is calling it out the right way - getting your facts straight, utilizing humor or a gentle touch when possible, and pointing out your friends gaffs in private instead of in public. Good advice all.

I've heard good things about the professor and the writing, and was perhaps too eager to read this book. It wasn't quite what I expected, and I can't say for certain that is all on me.
