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

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 Data Visualization, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Data Visualization 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 Visual Manipulation. What I appreciated most was how the book made Infographics feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
