 Fantastic UX Read! May 27, 2009
Jonathan Hoekman (San Luis Obispo, CA)
This book is a fantastic read regarding user interface/user experience best-practices. The sub-title really says it all, 'A common sense approach to web usability'. The book is exactly that! I recommend this to anyone who works in the web or technical arena as the reminders that this book brings up are genius in their simplicity and ease of execution. Nothing rocket-science here, just a disciplined, realistic, straight-forward look at making sure your designs are clear and easy to understand.
Very useful and practical book May 26, 2009
D. R. Piña Yeo
Steve Krug provides a simple yet very insightful look at web usability.
The approach is very practical, straight forward.
He does web usability consulting for a living and in this book he shares his experience with simple guidelines that any web site design could use.
Nevertheless, he doesn't impose anything. There are no absolute rules. He just tells you what things work best and WHY. It has real life examples and an easy reading approach.
If you are interested in web usability, go for it!

this book truly is timeless what he teaches can be applied from web to teaching elementary. it's really priceless stuff. Definitely a must read if your into usability. Some stuff is dated UI wise, but the principals he teaches don't bind themselves to just one type or time of web design.
Waiting for the next installment May 6, 2009
S. Gollihugh (Aloha, OR USA)
This is a great primer text for usability testing. It's easy to read in just a few hours and makes you laugh at the craziness of web page evolution to date. You won't be able to look at a web page in the same way after reading this book. Krug gives you the reasoning behind putting things in certain places on a web page. It's not random. You will want to buy a good book on Cascading Style Sheets after reading this book.
 Great Book On Usability April 30, 2009

Pros:
I like this book because it is short and to the point. It offers practical advice with "what to do" as well as "what not to do" explanations.
Cons:
The book is a little dated as far as the websites they choose to profile, but the ideas behind everything are still valid. There are some things that are common sense and can be skipped over.
