An article by the "Los Angeles Times" and a review through the University of Phoenix both describe Sagan's book positively. The "Los Angeles Times" describes Sagan's book as "a manifesto for clear thought", with the main issue being the length of eight chapters. This length discussion is also addressed in the archived New York Times article, as well as the article through the University of Phoenix which relates to the book as having areas which repeat themselves. The latter article agrees with the use of "The Demon-Haunted World" as a text to provide tools for clearer thinking. The article writes, "Sagan writes in an engaging style, using dry wit and humor, to get his point across regarding the need for everyone to practice aspects of scientific thinking in their daily lives." This article also discusses the ability of "The Demon-Haunted World" to help beginner researchers and students learn about the importance of critical thinking early on.
