Quality comes in small packages!!! June 30, 2008
A wonderful little book that really opens your eyes to usability issues that are so obvious but are still overlooked. Time and again a light bulb lights up in your brain as you read this and 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 and finish an enlightened usability expert ready to impress your colleagues with your new found knowledge.
 It's an essential book, but ... June 11, 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 and 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 fallen 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 June 10, 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 April 9, 2008

This book is definately not for usability experts. It is for everyone, it's short and 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 February 12, 2008
Steve manages to pull off something that is usually overlooked when it comes to discussing web usability.
Every thing is written in plain and simple English.
Everything is common sense and easy to take on. The terminology will be easy for anyone to digest - while being plain and 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 and have been reading it during coffee-breaks and the like.
If you have any involvement in websites and want to add something else to your skill set, don't even think about forking out on this book.
