- Read very much like a textbook with consistent layout i.e. methods were ordered alphabetically and each spread consisted of an explanation and exercise
- Will be good to have on hand as reference/inspiration for trying different methods as the need arises
- Inclusion of case studies at the end was good as it brought methodology to life (could have done with more examples)

- Got a lot out of the introduction where it talks about the concept of the whole design cycle, and how it can be the basis of all design
- didn't read through the entire thing since it's more of a reference
- would be nice to own it as a reference

What I liked is that it took 60 examples and explained quickly how each would be applied, in what situation. That was helpful to me as someone who appreciates UX but is not formally taught.
