review 1: I loved Laura's book. As I read it I kept on putting it down thinking "I need to put this down and go follow her advice IMMEDIATELY" and then I would pick it up because I wanted to learn more and hear more of her voice. Since I know Laura I could hear her voice advising, explaining, and gently mocking commonly-held falsehoods. The tone combines with the topic matter to break down pre-conceptions, to convince and teach. Laura's advice is incredibly practical. Having just been through a startup I could immediately see what I could have applied, and working with other startups now I do get an opportunity to apply more ideas. Many ideas are only obvious in retrospect (like testing fake features when you're operating on a shoestring budget) and then even once the idea is ... moreobvious, there's great advice for making the most of the idea.
review 2: Laura Klein's book is fantastic. If you are expecting a web design, interaction design or color/look-feel design then you are in the wrong place. Laura writes about those things, but his focus is to show how a product team using the Lean Startup method need to iterate and test continuously the User Experience.The best subjects and insights I liked in her book:-- How to do Early Validation of problem/solution-- Tips about MVP Experiments like Landing Pages, Concierge MVP, Fakes, Wizard of Oz, etc-- When to use Qualitative versus Quantitative Research and Testing-- A/B testing do's and don'ts-- Design HacksIt's always important to make sure that you read at least one of the books below to deeply understand why Lean Startup UX is so much focused on validation and hypothesis testing:The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful BusinessesRunning Lean: Iterate from Plan A to a Plan That Works (Lean Series)And if you need more details about Analytics I strongly recommend you to read also:Lean Analytics: Use Data to Build a Better Startup Faster (Lean (O'Reilly)) less
