Title: It does what it is supposed to do
Review: This book does what I believe it was intended to do very well: It provides a window through which the general public can get a first glimpse of the dangers of accepting statistics as absolute. The book's length, title, and repetition of certain common statistical flaws address are tailor made for the general reader.Damned Lies and Statistics is on my required reading list. If more people understood how they were being numerically manipulated from all angles, we'd all be better off. And I believe that is the ultimate job of a writer.
