Don’t be fooled into thinking this book would be a good first step at learning statistics. While the cartoons are good “refreshers”, they are definately not for beginners. The chapters of the book that deal with probabilities are exceptionally complex and unhelpful. My suggestion, buy SPSS for your computer and use the “help guide” included.

If you want to learn complicated things like statistics, but are feeling quite overwhelmed by the complexity, I highly recommend you learn visually from a book like this. Larry has a great sense of humor and is a creative genius.
