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 Visual Manipulation, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Analytics 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 Critical Thinking. What I appreciated most was how the book made Analytics 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 Critical Thinking is excellent, I found the sections on Visualizations less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Media Literacy 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 Data Visualization 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.
