I'm not used to reading books with two columns on the page and that made it harder for me to stay involved in the book. (I notice I had the same problem with that iPad book that did the same two columns per page format). So I ended up skimming sections mainly because of the layout. Content-wise the book had a lot of interesting points and made me think. I really liked it and wished I could have stayed focused while reading it.

Save the date! We'll be discussing the book Wednesday, August 25th at Red Tettemer (1 South Broad St). Jon Kolko will be skyping in to discuss his thoughts on interaction design live, so have your questions and comments ready.

Every UX designer should read this book. The word "Thoughts" in the title is apt - Jon meanders through a whole range of topics, but to a depth of academic yet interesting analysis unmatched in other publications relating to design. Very articulate and highly readable. You'll either finish this book nodding your head and feeling more like a professional designer or you'll feel overwhelmed and realise all you do is draw pretty pictures.

I enjoyed this book immensely. I find that it makes one of the most compelling cases for Interaction Design because it links the technical and the personal. That is, design examples familiar in real life are explicitly linked -- the lightbulb goes off. Additionally, some of the advice in here is understated and practical. In all, an engaging and intelligent read.

I read this book to get an idea of the interaction design industry. I am a graphic designer looking into how I may transition to IxD field, and this book was a great read. It was mixed with examples and theory of IxD. I would recommend it to novice interaction designers or just someone that is curious about the industry.

It's great to read to figure out what Interaction Design is in very pragmatic standpoint. The big principle is that "Interaction Design is the creation of a dialogue between a person and a product, service, or system." And prove this principle in all aspects of its process.
