An interesting look at statistics
Laura Graves, high school senior, 08/15/2007

I had hesitations on reading this book. Not only was it about math, it was also a required reading for my AP statistics class. I was surprised when I finished that I enjoyed the book. It was well written and gave insight to look at numbers deeper than just a bunch a figures. It was humorous and very informing. A great read for anyone taking a statistics class or who needs help to look beyond the numbers written on the page.

I had to read this book for my high school AP statistics class. I truly enjoyed reading this book. My dad had to read the same while he was in college 30 years ago. We were able to discuss the book. Huff was very insightful but humorous at the same time. This book helped me to learn how much goes into statistics and the way that they use their data however they want to. It was a fun way to learn not only about math but about the way that people use that math. It was interesting that even though the book was written over 50 years ago that his examples still worked and I could relate to things he said. I would recommend it to anyone high school level or above especially if you plan on taking or using statistics in your life.

Before reading this book, I thought Huff would offer nothing new to thought. Huff proves me wrong by a large margin. His insight in statistics proves the errors of number the common man misses. After being force to read this for school, I find some enjoyment in reading this since it shows that trusting in numbers is a large mistake. Not a bad book, but some parts tend to last a little too long.

The truth about advertising

I thought the book was very enjoyable. It allowed one to see the abilities of numbers and how deceiving they are. The book made me realize that even though you know you are looking at a certain number, you have no idea what it means. I loved the book, it was quite funny too in a sarcastic manner. It was very quick to read and contains many humorous illustrations;a great summer reading book.
