Summary: Good read, very good introduction to web usability
Comment: I am taking a HCI (Human Computer Interaction) course, and this book really applies many of the basic principles that we are learning in the class. I picked it up because we are creating a website for our course project, and I wanted to have some details on web usability.

Some of the stuff that Steve talks about seems obvious after you read it, but you may otherwise not think of it yourself. The book shows some great examples of what is broken, and how it can be fixed. While it didn't dive into tons of HCI stuff, it was a great introduction to web usability.

This was one of the first "techie" books that I finished cover to cover. It's definitely an easy read. I finished it in a weekend, and I am the slowest reader in the world (ok...maybe not, but pretty close).

I also plan on picking up Jakob Nielsen's new one when it comes out in March of 2006.

Summary: Lots of Fluff
Comment: Yes this book is quick and easy to read but it could have been condensed to 1/3 of its size if it dispensed with the chatty talk that added no value. I expected more "meat".

I really enjoyed the section on user-testing because it echoed my experience. Having it echoed in a book gives it validation to show to clients.

I think this book is way overrated. It is practical common sense and the target audience is for management and marketers who don't have any practical experience in this area.

Summary: Anyone designing a web site should read this first.
Comment: This book presents clear and consise information that will help improve your web site more than increasing your rank in Google will ever do. Why? Well, if you a user gets to your site but doesn't know what to click or where to find the information they want, then they'll leave. Don't Make Me Think gets you thinking in the mind of the user about how best to present your site in order for users to get the most out of it.

It's not a big book and you could probably summarise its contents in a few pages. However, it is an enjoyable read and contains lots of useful information with plenty of colourful pictures and diagrams.
