5.0 out of 5 stars Worth far More Than it's Price, 24 May 2004
I read the electronic version of The Big Red Fez. I'm a new media and marketing person but it's always good to be reminded of the basics of what we're trying to achieve.

Seth's critique of some of the best known names on the Web is refreshing. Not all of them come out well, I might add - and looking at the sites he criticises, I find myself saying "Yes, he's right about that!" Not even the big boys get it right, which leaves plenty of space for my customers to do better!

It's not only a "must read" it's a "must re-read at regular intervals" to remind us all that without the fundamentals being correct, a web presence degrades to an online company brochure - if that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice simple book with great case studies, 30 Dec 2005
By C. Killick "craig killick" (Hampshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Another Seth Godin easy read with great practical (and real) ideas to work on. See how other people are going right and wrong.

You just need to read this book, that seems to state the obvious, to give you lots of simple changes that you could make to your web site to give it more impact.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Big Red Fez: How to Make Any Web Site Better By Seth Godin, 13 Jan 2008
What a very odd & strange book.
I purchased this on Amazon without actually flicking through it. One of the dangers of online purchasing I suppose.

I have heard of the author - he wrote some well regarded books on the issue of permission based marketing. The tag-line of the book was: how to make any Web site better. Buyers beware of any book with a cheesy / overly-simplistic tag-line.

So to the book itself.
Over Christmas with a bit of time to spare I started reading this book. Two short sessions is all it took to complete this book. I could easily have completed it in one reading. There is 108 pages in the book, every second page is a picture & the pages that do have writing on them - consist usually of about a half page of text.

The author presents a number of Web-sites & outlines how they could be improved. To be honest the author picks on lame sites & explains their failings. A fairly easy task you may think - & you may be very right in thinking this.

This book is from 2002 - Hadn't realised this at the time of purchase.

Seth Godin is a marketing man - & this book is marketed at those people who do not know a lot about Web-sites . After reading this book these people will still know very little about Web-sites.

It is a nothing of a book - & unlikely to encourage you to read this author again. I have another book by the author - Survival is Not Enough. Really looking forward to reading it - Not.

A visitor takes 3 seconds on average to decide whether to stay on a web-site. I would think it is less than 3 seconds for your average reader to decide on the value of this book.

Books like this are of historical interest at best. The author should really update the content or he will disappoint additional readers like myself.
