2.5 an important idea but it could have done in a short paper. Book was kind of repetitive.

Excellent book. The author gives some very clear illustrations on how statistics can be used to mislead but more importantly, gives examples of how to present data more clearly as well as how to avoid being mislead. The last few chapters are the weaker part of the book.
