Summary: hmm Where to start.
Comment: Ok, this is in answer to another review. First, I don't think this book was meant for the 20 yr pro. I know the title implies that but honestly I think it was meant for the beginner/slightly experienced programer. Anybody who has read K&R thru and thru should probably skip this book if your looking for more ways to improve your coding practices. Honestly I don't think you would gain that much from it. I would though suggest reading it for the humor.
=)
And here is where I part with that reviewer. I find most of the humor to be both comprehensible and more to the point, funny. It does take a slightly twisted way at looking at the world. Most of the "wasted" paragraphs etc. are not actually wasted, if you're a mid lvl or beginner programer. Even some with experience can get some use out of this book. I do agree that this is probably a 3rd or 4th book for coders. As to the char** not being the same as const char**, just read it VERY carefully, after a bit you will understand. Though I do agree that the author could have been a bit clearer on that an a few other explanations.
I actually liked the varied topics, this book wasn't meant to be a reference encyclopedia nor a indepth analysis of some specific topic. AND personally I am tired of dry books. Which btw, this particular author has been just as guilty as most other computer book authors. Try his Java book and you will see what I mean.

Summary: C Expert Programming is not just for Expert C Programmers
Comment: This is a wonderful book for the apprentice C programmer. The title is a bit misleading suggesting that the book is just for the expert. Not so. The novice has just as much or more to gain from reading it. Confused by mind-bending declarations and prototypes? Still feeling a little queasy about some language features? Not quite ready for that 800 page tome on data structures? Check out this book. Its easy, humorous style makes it a pleasure to read

Summary: Excellent Book! Informative and fun
Comment: For those looking to dig deeper into the nuances of the C language, this is an excellent book! It has given me a better understanding of C that is helping me design better C code. A must have!
