The reviews from reader community have been outstanding! Here are just some of the comments from early readers:
| I’ve just finished reading the best computer book since I
last re-read one of mine and I wanted to pass along the good word. ... If
you were ever stuck for an answer to the question, “Why to good programmers
make such awful software?” this book holds the answer. ... This book strikes
a personal note with me as I am certain it will with everyone who reads it.
... Yes, this book is needed! Get a copy! It doesn’t even have a five page

| I don't get many computing manuscripts that make me laugh
out loud. Between the laughs, David delivers some very interesting insight
and perspective, all in a lucid and engaging style. I don't get much of that
either! ~ Henry Leitner |
| David's unique take on the problems that bedevil software
creation made me think about the process in new ways. If you care about the
quality of the software you create or use, read this book. ~ Dave Chappell |
| I began to read it in my office but stopped before I reached
to the bottom of the first page. I couldn't keep a grin off my face! I'll
enjoy it after I go back home and find a safe place to read. ~ Tsukasa Makino, IT Manager |
| "David explains, in terms that my mother-in-law can
understand, why the software we use today can be so frustrating, even
dangerous at times, and gives us some real ideas on what we can do about
it." ~ Jim Brosseau |
| A riotous book for all of us downtrodden computer users,
written in language that we understand. ~ Stacy Baratelli, the author’s barber |
| This book is good, so buy it. ~ David S. Platt, the author |
