Summary: Even my tutor did not like this book.
Comment: I am currently studying CS at university and one of my classes in HCI. All I can say about this book is that even the tutor for the class hated this book - as did all the students - so much so that the next semesters' book is going to be something else.
Rating: 1
Summary: Rubbish, rubbish, rubbish!
Comment: I'm a computer science student and last semester I had a GUI course where this HCI book was in the curriculum. It has to -without a doubt- be the worst book I have ever read. There is absolutely nothing useful in it, whatsoever. Nothing in that book will help people design better user interfaces for their programs/web pages. You'll be much better off simply with the use of common sense!

Summary: Steer clear of this one
Comment: I had the misfortune of having to buy this book for a night course I took for personal interest. As a an engineering professional, I found the ideas of having a customer throughout architecture, design, test completely impractical. Other impracticalities include assessing usuability by hiring an expert in cognitive behavior.
I had hoped the book contained information that would help with the practical design of gadgets and/or GUI interfaces. No examples of good and bad, what the public in general wants, how this is affected by demographics, etc.
This book contains hardly and only a small amount of technical, non-subjective material.
The book is also not gender neutral and uses "she" often when they refer to a non-specific user/person, which got on my nerves!
