Didn't finish but I would like to come back to this at some point. There is an awful lot going on in this book, and it's funny too.

January 22, 2014Re-reading this book again. Realized that the taxonomy of graphics is indeed a big topic. Given that lots, if not most, of impacts a data scientist can deliver lies in the data charts, I find it extremely challenging and refreshing to gain insights of visualization from a book as classic as this one. I'll revisit it soon, and often.

A very good read!
The ideas are clear (though sometimes a bit wordy for "the details") and sound.
Most impressed is how passionate Leland Wilkinson is toward this subject can be felt in his writing.
Love it!

I'm sure that it is a great book, but I couldn't follow the novelty or take valuable information. I'm certain that it is because I'm not the public that this book is aiming for.
For that reason, I cannot give a perfect or horrible rating.
