★★★★☆

Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing offers a compelling take on Data Visualization, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Critical Thinking is excellent, I found the sections on Data Visualization less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Infographics 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 Information Design will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Critical Thinking, 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 Information Design, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Information Design 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 Deceptive Charts feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
