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 Information Design less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Visualizations that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Analytics 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 Visual Manipulation, 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 Critical Thinking, 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 Critical Thinking. What I appreciated most was how the book made Data Visualization feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
