Quality comes in small packages!!! - By: Mr. M. O'Sullivan, 30 Jun 2008
A wonderful little book that reallly opens your eyes to usability issues that are so obvious but are still overlooked. Time & again a light bulb lights up in your brain as you read this & you think god it is so obvious why didn't I notice that before?

The great thing is you can read this book in one sitting & finish an enlightened usability expert ready to impress your colleagues with your new found knowledge.
It's an essential book, but ... - By: A. M. Mckenzie, 11 Jun 2008
There's no point is adding my voice to the many other positive reviews here. It's a complete no-brainer that any one involved in web site build or maintentance - be they designer, developer or business stakeholder - should read & digest this book, not just once but on a regular basis.

BUT ... is there anyone else who has found their copy of DON'T MAKE ME THINK has falllen apart within a few weeks of moderate daily use? Shouldn't a book like this be built to withstand the regular handling that the content deserves?

Or is just that I'm heavy-handed?

love this book - By: S. Keefe, 10 Jun 2008
Fantastic book - full of "d'oh" moments when you realize that you've made just about every stupid mistake possible when designing websites....not anymore though!
Short and sweet - By: Michal A Kunysz, 09 Apr 2008
This book is definately not for usability experts. It is for everyone, it's short & sweet. If you want to know basics than go on, it is good! But don't expect detailed knowledge. I much more advice to read Jakob Nielsen if you want detailed source of knowledge.
A must read for any web designer/developer - By: S. Clements-hawes, 12 Feb 2008
Steve manages to pull off something that is usuallly overlooked when it comes to discussing web usability.
Every thing is written in plain & simple English.
Everything is common sense & easy to take on. The terminology will be easy for anyone to digest - while being plain & simple, it's understandable to newcomers while not patronising more experienced readers.

The entire book is designed to be read cover-to-cover in a few hours (depending on your reading ability). I am not someone who can just eat a book up & have been reading it during coffee-breaks & the like.

If you have any involvement in websites & want to add something else to your skill set, don't even think about forking out on this book.
