Debut Book Reviewer
I absolutely loved Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing! It completely changed my perspective on Data Visualization. At first I wasn't sure about Media Literacy, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Deceptive Charts is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Critical Thinking. What I appreciated most was how the book made Visualizations feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing offers a compelling take on Data Visualization, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Information Design is excellent, I found the sections on Visualizations less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Visual Manipulation that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Media Literacy more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Analytics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Deceptive Charts, if not the definitive work.
