Summary: Programming Book from Hell
Comment: This book is horrible. It's badly written code wise and also in a literary sense. The author takes good examples and ruins them. Also he makes up his own terms to replace supposedly bad ones. The code is poorly written and contradicts the authors supposed "style." He make use of breaks when ever possible, and then tells you that the use of breaks is not good practice. He also typedef's beyond reason. I would strongly recommending NOT buying this book. I unfortunately had an equally idioic teacher who requried this book.. be warned steer clear.

Summary: needs thorough revision and update
Comment: I agree with the reviews on this book...this book is really a bad choice for an ADT class ....there are no complete code examples, everything is in parts, and the author does not explain how to fit these different code pieces together...apart from that if being a novice I could detect programmatic errors within the first 4 chapters, that shows how poorly written this text is...someone recommended "Data-Abstraction and Problem Solving in C++" by Carrano, and boy, it was a life saver....the carrano text is probably the best written ADT book available.....

Summary: best book on data structures available
Comment: The previous Pascal edition of this book was extremely readable and what I learned data structures from. It had a lot of diagrams which were invaluable to understanding the algorithm. This book improves upon that edition by adding even more illustrative pictures and is updated with new algorithms and analysis techniques like amortized analysis which were not around when the old book was written. The writing style of the author is impeccably understandable. I collect books on algorithms and data structures and this is the most readable book ever.
P.S. I've found the books which use STL to be opaque and focus more on STL and C++ than on understanding the data structure and algorithm. This is why many authors, including Sedgewick, eschew STL in their books. STL is also not relevant when programming in other languages, like the ubiquitous C programming language.
