I enjoyed the first bit of this book, but it got boring very quickly. I didn't think it was written very well; random facts were just being thrown at the reader without a whole lot of cohesion. I thought a lot of the issues would leave the reader with the wrong impression, particularly if they aren't used to statistics or statistical thinking. Often the authors would be making an argument that was purely illustrative and not be explicit enough that they were just being illustrative, which I think would confuse some readers.

Finally, I was annoyed throughout that they didn't have any sources, and then found sources for everything they'd written in the back of the book. This was good to see, but I wish they'd made it clear throughout the book that the reader could consult the back of the book for sources.
