Summary: Great place to begin -- "Wide" but not too "Deep"
Review: This is the 1st book I have read on Web Usability. And from that perspective, it deserves 5 stars.This book has whet my appetite to delve deeper -- it is a rather short book. And while Krug covers the wide spectrum of Usability, I will have to look elsewhere to delve in deeper. However, I will read all future (and deeper) books with Krug's principles as my foundation. Most of those who gave it less than 5 stars were experienced Web Usability folks. They have a valid point -- this book is not terribly deep. But don't let that stop you from buying it, especially if you are a beginner...it will lay a great foundation for your knowledge of Web Usability, and gives good, practical advice for all.

Summary: UI and Design living together, mass hysteria!!!
Review: Kudos to Steve Krug for finding the common ground between usability and design. Avoiding the pitfall of swaying too far in favor of either medium, Krug found the middle ground where practical usability meets sensible design in order to produce quality web sites. His focus on thinking like your user, and make a page/site that will make sense for them, is so simple it is brilliant.

Summary: Don't Make Me Think...piece o' cake.
Review: Although the ideas and conventions may seem common sense, you would be suprised at how many sites fail to "see the light". This book "sheds some light" on the issues of web design that are sometimes so simple that they may be overlooked. Steve Krug also adds humor and whit to his chapters, which are short and sweet. Don't Make Me Think is an easy read and should not be neglected, especially if you are new to the "WWW".

Summary: This book is the Tops!
Review: I bought this book because I thought it would help me tame my own sci-fi hobby site...; all I can say is wow, wow, wow. Steve Krug tells you everything you need to know about effective interface design, from the most valuable point of view of all ... that of the user. I'm really fired up about applying all SK's killer interface ideas to my own site. The only problem is, he's made me realize how badly laid out my site is at the moment. My re-design is going to take flipping years. Ho hum. But anyway, this book is a classic. I have already passed it around my day-job firm's web team and studio, and they all agree that this is the best tome they have read on the subject to date. If you only buy one book on web site usability, make it this cracker. Great advice, fab typesetting and you should be able to read it three daily train commutes (I did).

Summary: Good no nonsense overview to webpage mechanics
Review: Good Information! This was my first web design or usability book to read, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I particularly found chapter 6 very informative. I teach computers to grades 1 thru 8 and I really put the info about the parts of a webpage to look for to good use when designing a lesson plan for webpage navigation. This book is very understandable. Also, the chapters on usability testing can be very helpful to any corporate web design teams.

Summary: True to Itself
Review: Excellent book. Well written; concise, illustrative, and to the point. No fluff, just a great guide to help with usability testing without overwhelming you. Much more useful than Jakob Nielson's "Designing Web Usability"--pound for pound.

Summary: great guidelines!
Review: Steve gets it right. The best thing is that he advocates common sense, which alot of web developers are afraid to champion in day-to-day meetings with products managers. By the time people realize that such things as the guidelines in Krug's book advocate would've been nice it's too late.
