Information
is Beautiful By
David McCandless
***** 5/5
stars Non-Fiction
How many of you have picked up an information book by
accident and immediately put it back down thinking that it will definitely be
dull? Books about information—pretty much any type—are almost always boring.
Yes, you might say that you do come across the occasional interesting
information book, but that’s one in a million. This book must be one in a million then
because it is one of the very few that is interesting. What made this book much more entertaining
then other information-books is that the information is presented in colorful graphs
so the book isn’t boring black-and-white. What also made it interesting was the
information itself. There were many subjects discussed in it. Among them are:
what colors mean in different cultures, an internet viral video clips timeline,
the predicted future, and theories for consciousness. This book of miscellany will
appeal to nearly everyone.
