One of the best book, I think.

This is another one of those books like "Influence" by Scott that must be in your library. Tips, strategies and the psychology behind... well... Influence that supports greater success.

A wonderful guide.

Argument Structure: Secrets of the World’s Best Debaters is a wonderful guide to being a better communicator. I have bought several copies and I continue to give to friends and employees who struggle to be understood. Great read!

Great Book!

So helpful in organizing your thoughts on an argument!! I listen to it several times to really benefit from it! Good narration! Wish I had found this sooner in life but so glad I have now! Thank you Scott Lovell!

Marvelous Book to learn Argument Structure.

It is one of the best self help books I have ever read. At first when seeing the title and knowing it was written by a lawyer, I thought, wait minute, what would a lawyer know about self help for just the average person and that it would be written in an easy way.

Great tool to learn debate.

Great book for anyone starting out in the debating arena.A step-by-step easy approach to give you the confidence to dip your toe in the water. Highly recommended to young and old alike.

Recommended This Great Book.

"Master the Structure of Arguments" is a good enough book to listen twice at least. My first book from this author but I am thinking to follow him to get his more books especially on this topic because I am feeling some thrust.

Great Text, Low Quality

This book really gives you a basic understanding of debate fundamentals. I've even used this book as a guide in my debate rounds! It is a somewhat outdated book, regarding common debate terms, but still applies in modern competitive debate. The quality of the book, however, was lower than what I expected. Generally good.

It must be in your library.

Awesome, Scott Lovell and wonderfully practical and insightful read. If you want to win at home or in business, keep this book handy and re-read as necessary. Sometimes it is better to think out of the box. Spence wins my interest and heart every time.

So far the best book on Agrument Structure.

So far the best book about debate that i have found! It is not just good for novice coach or debater but also for advance learners in that it reinforces skills and essential standards that are often overlooked in competition. And yes, its many of the simple skills taken for granted that may cost you a round,

This book represents a better plan.

I'll admit I got the book because Scott has been like my friend as he described the easy tips here to learn best way to debate. Having said that I wondered, how beautifully author tell us the way to debate.
