Summary: OK intro for total novices but teaches you virtually nothin
Comment: That book is good for a coast-to-coast flight. Has virtually no substance, can't learn anything from it. Has some value for novices. Misassigned quotes, incorrect dates, off the cuff graphs, fluffy fluff.
Borrow it from a library, do not buy for you bookshelf. If you have a backwards looking manager, buy it for him as a gift.

Summary: Of no interest to Black Belts looking to implement DFSS
Comment: This book may appeal to middle management or executive level managers who are taking a first pass at DFSS and are not familiar with Six Sigma in general. Frankly, this book is a waste to time if you are looking for a meaty how-to on how to implement design for six sigma at your company. The author keeps telling the reader about the power of DFSS but lacks the substance to get you there. It is written as if it were a lengthy abstract to another textbook.
If you want to buy a gift for your boss--you're all set.
If you want a useful reference volume on DFSS look elsewhere.

Summary: Not enough details
Comment: This is a good book for a novice or executive who wants a quick and high level overview of DFSS. Don't expect to learn the details of DFSS or any substantive methods to implement DFSS.
The book lacks substance and pertinent examples. Chapter Six on Optimize the Design is very weak. The sections on Taguchi Loss Function, Parameter design, Tolerance design, and TRIZ provide a superficial coverage with no in-depth explanation or detailed examples. Additionally, the discussion on concept evalutions (criteria or prioritization matrix and Pugh matrix) are also very superficial.
The book is an easy read and provides a nice high-level overview, but those looking for details and solid examples should not consider this book.
