Poorly Done Basics of Critical Thinking and Its Processes

I didn't see this supposed two-in-one collection as critical thinking hacks at all. In it, the author describes the basics and processes of critical thinking—in very poor terms—but I didn't really see any things I would particularly call a *hack*. I didn't see where the clear division of the supposed two books was. The writing felt amateurish and weak, with a strong reliance on false subjects ("there" expressions) and impassive personal expressions ("it" expressions where the *it* does not refer to any specific noun). The topic of the subtitle wasn't explored at all. Much of the book read like a badly done term paper, pulling from multiple sources without much analysis. All in all, I think you could find much better books about critical thinking.

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.
