review 1: Seductive Interaction Design is more than a provocative title. It's a book that is surprisingly grounded in human behavior and psychology-- brought together in practical comprehensible terms and chapters.The sequencing and pacing of this book is just right to get you inspired by the opportunities to make your website more enticing. Where it excels, compared to Designing for Emotion for example, is it doesn't ever become focused on emotion as the outcome. Seductive IxD maintains the perspective that emotion is a factor that contributes to a larger outcome, such as behavior change.While packed with insights ultimately Seductive Interaction Design is a very good introduction and a great read, but it's overall not a great reference. It is a well aggregated list of frameworks a... morend perspectives, but the list is neither exhaustive nor synthesized into a well made hole. Ultimately I think this book should be as a part of a reading program to better understand the neurology of creating 'seductive' experiences, but I think Designing for Behavior Change is a more complete read on this topic.
review 2: Apparently many people liked this book. I was not one of them.The writing style was bland and overly conversational, fraught with "sometimes people kind of"s and "this might show slight increases for some users"ses. All the text was heavily qualified and mostly unsupported by data. The experiments and excerpted interviews were interesting, but I felt like they were mostly filler--they didn't really contribute substantial weight to the (few) arguments made in the text. less
