This was a simple book, and a good introduction to data mining, and data science. But i did finish it in like half an hour. Honestly one of the best things about it is that it's essentially a compendium of tools and data sources which you can use if you want to dive into this more deeply. its also a fairly good glossary so that you can understand whats even happening when you read about this topic. its more like an intro to an intro and for what it is, it's decent.

Great book
The author goes into a lot of statistical methods that can be used for gathering, assessing, and visualizing data
Unfortunately I was listening to it on audio and missed a lot of the graphs and examples
I will have to re read it and go slower to more fully get the concepts
I recommend this book to anyone wanting a deeper dive into all of the methods used in data analytics

Great introduction

Good introduction to data analytics covering the major data analytics topics. I especially liked the section at the end with python examples as well as recommendations for future reading. While the book does not provide a deep dive into the topics, it is a good read for those interested in this subject.
