★★★★☆

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 Media Literacy 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 Visual Manipulation 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 Information Design, if not the definitive work.
