While Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing makes several valuable points about Deceptive Charts, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Critical Thinking seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Visual Manipulation. That said, the sections on Critical Thinking are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in Infographics, this could be a truly outstanding work.

As a scholar in Data Visualization, I found Lying with Visualizations: Seeing Isn't Believing to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to Deceptive Charts is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of Visual Manipulation, which offers a compelling framework for understanding Data Visualization. While some may argue that Media Literacy, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about Data Visualization.
