This was a very good and incredibly accessible look at how our minds cannot quite wrap themselves around the idea of numbers and the lies told by scientists, governments, journalists, Antonin Scalia and ourselves that take advantage of that inability (Scalia got a whole chapter to himself).
I found Seife's style very easy to read and enjoyable. He writes simply, rarely couching his point in incomprehensible terms or moving beyond a fairly basic vocabulary. This is very much a book meant to educate the masses and his exasperation at the tricks people get away with is palpable and left me just as eager to start looking for errors of proofiness.
I really recommend this book to anyone who wants to think critically about the news they are given, not to mention anyone who enjoys a well written and educational rant.
