Title: A Good Survey...Almost Too Good
Review: Foir the most part, Priest's introduction to the field of logic is clear, short and intriguing. He starts out almost every chapter with a logical puzzle or paradox and proceeds to attempt to explain it, showcasing different logical tools along the way. On the whole, this is a good strategy.But at the end of the book, you're left feeling a bit dissatisfied because so many of the puzzles/paradoxes are left unresolved and so much ground has been covered in so little space. I felt that it had too much breadth and not enough depth, despite the fact that this is a very short introduction (I've read a couple others and not all of them suffer this fate). But I've given the book 4 stars because it is interesting, lively and clear, and is perhaps a better introduction than most on the topic of logic, despite its occasional drawback.
