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 Information Design, 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 Information Design. 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!

Particularly noteworthy is the discussion on Visualizations, which provides fresh insights into Data Visualization. The methodological rigor and theoretical framework make this an essential read for anyone interested in Data Visualization. While some may argue that Information Design, the overall quality of the research and presentation is undeniable.

Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing offers a compelling take on Data Visualization, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Media Literacy is excellent, I found the sections on Deceptive Charts less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Data Visualization that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Information Design 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 Media Literacy, if not the definitive work.
