1: Maybe I was being unfair....
I only read one chapter whose field I am familiar with and then judged about the book, so I might be unfair. However, this book is written not entirely right on the mark. It is a bit sketchy.
When a book is a collection of writings from different authors with topics not carefully organized and crafted, it is usually disappointing. This book is one of them. Though it might just be my prejudice. (I doubt it, but don't tell anyone :-) )

2: So So - Ups & Downs... but worth reading
The book provides some good insights into the world of interaction design.
However, it's a bit boring and too much of a history lesson.
While the information provided within is a nice examination of various things previously done, the book provides little about how to go about processing or coming up with the information or general practices for doing so in your own project(s). However, if you have a generally analytical mind, you can definitely pull some of that information out of it. The few gems of knowledge as applied to products already designed are very valuable and the proper descriptions were chosen for each.
The "interviews" contained within the book are a bit too disparate for my tastes, though. There is a lack of general cohesion that causes the book to "feel" off-topic, even though it is all related. Focus seems to be lost on the underlying reason for the book (even based on the forward, description, etc.).
There's a lot there, but you're going to have to pick it out for yourself. The book definitely lacks the ability to state what the intentions of varies arguments and examinations are but what is there is valuable.

3: Great overview of interactions
This book makes you think a lot about how interactions have been designed. It has a lot of great examples and I even picked up a few tricks on storyboarding my interactions and designs. Well done.

4: Marcos Chilet .......Dise??o de interacci??n.
En este libro se revisan una serie de autores que son relevantes en el campo del dise??o de interacci??n. Podemos encontrar desde Brenda Laurel hablando del desarrollo de juegos para ni??as, hasta los creadores de Google. No es un libro que profundice en los temas, es m??s bi??n un ??til pan??ptico del desarrollo del dise??o de interacci??n.

5: Terribly Self-Indulgent
This book is a terribly self-indulgent view of interaction design. There is no real analysis in this book or critical thinking. It's mostly a collection of simple stories from companies or efforts that Moggridge likes. There is no real theory offered here, only anecdotes. It's also a very Silicon Valley-centric view of the world. If you are looking for a partial history of interesting "interaction" design efforts, this book may be for you. Though, perhaps, not at the price it sells for.
