My review
I would recommend this book to both beginners and professionals interested in the field of data visualization. It covers basic and somewhat more advanced stuff like correlograms and paired data which I rarely, if ever, have used.
It contains useful advice about design and storytelling. I liked his non-dogmatic approach to controversial visualizations like pie charts. One of my main takeaways is that it made me rethink some of my favourite minimalistic design preferences.
