The book brings the entire environment and life cycle of a web application project to discussion, showing how each piece connects with others and where the UX Designer role fits into it. It also details how particular activities and tasks look like and what are the best practices for them.
But it doesn’t stop there, it goes way beyond, really deep into what a UX Designer really needs to know and do to become
Great overview of the field, very easy to read. It'll also make a great reference book for all those UX tasks I don't do every day. There were times where I wish it was a bit more detailed or prescriptive, but I understand that it isn't the true aim of the book. Plus, there are plenty of sidebars suggesting further reading in the form of books, articles, and blog posts. Definitely recommended to anyone who does UX work or who works with people that do.
I used this book along with Steve Krug's publications on web usability to conduct my first usability testing sessions early this year. I would definitely recommend it to people starting out on UX looking for a bit of structure, or those with a moderate amount of experience who are interested in fleshing out their processes a little more.

This is a go-to primer & all encompassing resource for new UX designers. I would highly recommend this book for those setting out in the agency & corporate design. I would not recommend this for startup hackers.

Still reading! Haven't gotten very far, but seems like a good review of UX roles on projects.
Great book on UX design. I borrowed it form the library and now own a copy
Not that the book wasn't interesting, but...I discussed it with some fairly intelligent UX folks and while they agree that there is value, this book is not the best guide for getting into UX.
Excellent quick overview of UX and the staple methods and processes. Not enough detail for a practitioner to use as a reliable reference book, however.
Its a welcome addition to my UX toolkit. It's a useful reference. It's not a perfect reference, but as far as I know that doesn't exist yet.
Boring. A required text for our Information Architecture class. Very dry read.
Great overview, from a novice to intermediate level Design thinker.
