Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There is little (if any) content in here that an intermediate or senior level designer could use. Most of what is in this book is obvious (and if it's not maybe this shouldn't be your line of work). It was a painful read because most of the time I felt like I was wasting my time. I was (I kid you not) already more than halfway through the book when she started talking about using alternating colors to visually distinguish rows of data. Ya, duh? And she is verbose about the most obvious of things, to the point where it's almost hard to read because you think maybe you're missing something, and so you get someone else to read it too and they go, "Huh, didn't she just say the exact same thing in the last sentence but just with different words?" Yes, she did. It's irksome. It's irritating. It's annoying. (See what I mean?) This is a hot dog of a book - all filler. This might be a good book for a novice, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is well into the industry, as you will probably just wish you could get that time back. The only good thing about it is that you will learn the vocabulary of the industry. It's like a fluffed up data dictionary, that's all. I don't recommend it unless you have time to waste. It's nicely designed though.
