4.0 out of 5 stars
Easy to read, with lots of good information.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Pages That Suck: Learn Good Design by Looking at Bad Design (Paperback)
This book gave me lots of useful information, it was well-organized and easy to read. I enjoyed the humor, the comic photos ... the pic of Elvis impersonators made me laugh out loud ...and picked up good hints for my website in every chapter.

This book leads the pack for "Web design books that Suck",
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Pages That Suck: Learn Good Design by Looking at Bad Design (Paperback)
My overall impression of Web Pages that Suck is poor at best. The writing style of the book is choppy and suffers from taking decent copy from a web site and padding it for the book. Judging by the many side bars and paragraphs explaining American cultural references, the authors seem to be writing for amateur web designers in the international market. The design of the book is just as poor as the many web sites is condemns, glaring colors, bad photography (we could do without the see through Elvis suits - ugg) and poor organization make the book look amateurish. If you think that you can learn good design by looking at bad design then 1+1=3. It just doesn't work that way. Save your money or buy another web design book. No one has topped 'Creating Killer Web sites' yet, and if this book is a sign of things to come, then no one will.

Yawn -- Been There, Done That,
By A Customer
This review is from: Web Pages That Suck: Learn Good Design by Looking at Bad Design (Paperback)
Built on a clever premise, but poorly executed, this book is a let down. If it is your first book on Web design you might enjoy it, but if you are already beyond the novice stage you won't learn too much. The presentation is light-hearted, but there is a lot of fluff and nothing you haven't already heard before. Despite the other ho-hum reader reviews I bought this book. Don't make the same mistake I did. It's not worth the price.
