★★★★☆

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 Media Literacy, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Data Visualization 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 Information Design 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 Visual Manipulation is excellent, I found the sections on Analytics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Visualizations that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Infographics 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 Visualizations, if not the definitive work.
