I'm still going through it, but this book so far is a 5/5 because it is meant for people who are teaching themselves logic, especially formal symbolic logic. I've read several books on predicate logic and this is definitely the best one yet.

Friendly, quirky, but the topic is much better taught with a computer. (Speaking from hard experience)
