Numbers Rule Your World
I kind of found this book by accident while searching for something else at the library, but I figured, "Hey, why not try it?"
Sadly, I wasn't impressed with the book. Some moments really stood out, but most of the "aha" moments that are supposed to make a book like this shine were more of, "huh? um... isn't that obvious?" moments.
The organization of the book, which divided it into 5 chapters, with two stories per chapter that each had a core lesson in statistics, was a good idea, but was poorly executed so that I never fully understood the connections between the stories.
Overall, I felt the book was too simplistic to engage, and so I would not recommend it to close friends or family.
