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.

Summary: A thin book with everything you need
Comment: This book is excellent. It's very accessible and easy reading without being superficial. It's not a usability cookbook, it actually makes you understand its principles and gives you critical sense to analyze any website and see what's wrong (or right) with it.
I just couldn't find any negative points about the book.

Summary: eye-opening analysis
Comment: I'm not a designer and I would by nature make many of the mistakes Krug points out in this great book. Krug's reasoning and reasoned approach that he presents in this book is invaluable.

Summary: Fantastic - Easy to Understand and Use
Comment: This book on internet usability has not only changed the way I design websites, it has changed my thinking on many areas of life. The other day I was asked to review a print media item and I kept saying to the designer - "Don't Make Me Think!" The idea of designing easy to use, simple to understand websites is so simple that it is often overlooked. This is a fantastic read. I'm halfway through my second reading of it.
