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 Infographics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Critical Thinking 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 Deceptive Charts. What I appreciated most was how the book made Deceptive Charts 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 Deceptive Charts less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Visualizations 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 Visual Manipulation will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Analytics, if not the definitive work.

The author's approach to Data Visualization demonstrates a sophisticated understanding that will benefit both novice and experienced readers alike. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion on Critical Thinking, which provides fresh insights into Analytics. The methodological rigor and theoretical framework make this an essential read for anyone interested in Infographics. While some may argue that Critical Thinking, the overall quality of the research and presentation is undeniable. This volume will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field of Data Visualization.
