★★★★☆

Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing offers a compelling take on Data Visualization, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Information Design 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 Visualizations more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Analytics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Infographics, 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 Information Design, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Information Design 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 Media Literacy. 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!
