Review # 1 was written on 2009-04-03 00:00:00 Steven White Haven't read the whole thing yet, but this book needs "History of" in the title because "Designing Interactions" makes it sound like you might actually learn how to.. oh I don't know, DESIGN INTERACTIONS and not just what read about what others did in the past. So far I haven't gained much insight into how to approach problems and not be horrible at this stuff. Someone should make a book called "Poorly Designed Interactions" and explain what not to do, because all this book is telling me to do is: a) be a genius After I do that, maybe I can get my name added to the already long list of people on the cover of the book. Perhaps things will turn around later in the book and some useful information will be conveyed.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-09-12 00:00:00 Karen Smith This book might be colossal, but if you take the time to read it, you'll be doubly rewarded. The book is essentially a series of "case studies" on design, but what makes it truly spectacular is that they're actually an odd mix. While some chapters are more theoretical, and impart ideas about interaction design, others tell stories about how things came to be designed the way they were. Finally, others represent research and ideas that are more academic (or "cutting edge," depending on your point of view). More than anything, the book is a joy to read - I found myself spending so much time reading I had to give it away during the school semester. Definitely the best book I've read so far this year.
