Summary: Absolutely Hilarious
Comment: I use this book as a "must read" for my Visual Design class. It is a great introductory book of design principle for interactive media and the way we use the web. It points out the obvious in an understandable way and keeps my students hooked (which is sometimes hard to do!). Hilarious and easy to follow. I read the entire book on a 2 hour flight...and I don't mind reading it again each semester.

Summary: Essential tool for any website admin!
Comment: Steve Krug flawlessly (and colorfully) presents the need for website usability testing and affordable, easy-to-implement strategies for making your site function more efficiently, no matter the number of users. Steve's strategies seem so basic, but anyone who uses the web at all knows that most sites have at least some sort flaw when it comes to usability. Steve's recommendations are by no means a panacea for a site's problems, but they're a great start. Anyone who writes for, develops content for or administers a website at work or home needs to read (and re-read) this book. Steve also happens to be a very nice guy and will most certainly respond if you have any questions for him.

Summary: Definitely not worth reading
Comment: I am definitely not a usability expert but I was expecting much more substance from a "self proclaimed" expert. The examples are so obvious, dumbed down and old (from 1999-2000). I think this book should entirely be written with Web 2.0 in mind. I agree that design principles do not change over time, and this book is not about technology, but users expect more and more with new technologies. While some design patterns stay the same, some evolve and become expected with the advent of newer technologies.

Don't waste your time with this book, and buy a more recently written book for people who really want to know about usability.
