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 Critical Thinking, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Media Literacy 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 Analytics. What I appreciated most was how the book made Critical Thinking 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 Data Visualization is excellent, I found the sections on Data Visualization less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Information Design that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Visual Manipulation more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Media Literacy 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.
