I didn't find much new in this book, but it did inspire me to really take the Mobile First approach to heart and start designing for mobile before even considering the 'regular web' version for a project I'm working on.
So, don't read this to learn something, read it to do something.

A good overview book about why you should take Mobile into the first stages of your design process. The gigantic market is often over looked and this approach solves that by focusing on the most concise version your design could have and branching out based on capabilities of the browser you are in. Ignoring mobile is a quick way to headaches down the road, and with this book in your repertoire you can explain the thinking behind the approach a little better.

This book certainly hammers home the reasons for thinking mobile first, but somehow forgot to really explain some of the design and design thinking behind each example. I felt I was left with half a story, backed up by too many examples, as though questions might be raised. I'd have preferred more steps and thinking on fewer mobile examples.

It was pretty informative. Most of what Luke had to say is fairly common sense. He gives almost no explanation about how to follow the recommendations that he makes. The book is extremely short. Overall, the things written would be good for all designers, developers and usability professionals to know.

This book was okay. It's good to have a book that discusses the merits of mobile first, and I enjoyed the sections pertaining to usability on mobile devices. Besides that, I didn't really learn anything new. A quick read.

I'm not a developer, which makes it all the more awesome that I understood this book and found it so valuable. Have referred to it many times during client projects since I started paging through it. A good overview of the principles of responsive design, and I particularly appreciate the visual examples.
