Science triumphalism is the enemy and this book had no shortage of it.
Martin writes in an extremely accessible fashion, which is great. Unfortunately all of his examples are awful and misrepresent the history of science.
If you're only looking for a brief outline of the problems in scientific reasoning this is a good place to start, but take everything said in the book with a grain of salt.
This book was assigned by a logic of science class. I give this book a 5 out of 10.
