★★★★☆

Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing offers a compelling take on Data Visualization, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Visualizations is excellent, I found the sections on Analytics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Information Design that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Critical Thinking more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Visual Manipulation will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Data Visualization, 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 Analytics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Visualizations 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 Visualizations. What I appreciated most was how the book made Media Literacy feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
