'I think'

'There is much wrong information in the book, I think.' I know that 'I think" take the whole sentence but I would like to know if it is possible for 'I think' there can take 'much wrong information' or it should be 'much wrong information I think of in the book'? What do native English speakers use and think? Thank you so much.

Much wrong information is not a natural phrase. It sounds really clunky. There is a lot of false information in the book, I think.

Kwang Hee HanThere is much wrong information in the book, I think.
This can mean two things:

I think that there is much wrong information in the book. (It is my opinion that there is ....)
I think, but I am not really sure, that there is much wrong information in the book. (I can't say for certain, but I believe that there is ....)

So you mean 'I think' modifies the whole sentence, not a lot of false information, the noun in front? Did I get you right? Thank you.

Kwang Hee Han'I think' modifies the whole sentence
"modify" is the wrong word, but you might say that the rest of the sentence is subordinate to "I think" regardless of which position it's in.

Sorry about dragging this question out, but I would like to know if there is meaning difference among them:

I think you are smart.

You are smart, I think.

You are, I think, smart.

To me, all of them are similar but I am not sure what you native English speakers think and feel about it. Thank you so much as usual.

This one is not very idiomatic. You won't hear it except very rarely, and then it's the same as "You are smart, I think".
Kwang Hee HanI think you are smart.
It is my opinion that you are smart.
Kwang Hee HanYou are smart, I think.
It can mean this:
