Summary: very good book but errors are frustrating
Comment: I found this book very easy to understand and very informative. The author's style is pleasant, clear, and interesting. However, I also have a lot of experience programming, so it's hard for me to say if a brand new programmer would also find it simple to understand.
What drives me crazy is the errors. I spent about three times as long studying the errors than learning the concepts. Every time I saw something in the code that I didn't understand, I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out if it was a flaw in my understanding or a flaw in the book. What a waste of time. And the errata doesn't even start to cover all the errors.
It's a crying shame that such a excellent book is destroyed by silly, careless typos. Can someone explain to me why so many "technical" books suffer from this problem??

Summary: Not for Beginners
Comment: I am trying to learn the language and this is my second C++ book. My reccomendation is to look for another book. The author goes from beginner tutorials to advanced concepts before the week is even out and is left you hanging discussing larger concepts to grasp. By the end of the second week I was left clueless. Not to mention that this book is also riddled with bad code examples that don't work.

Summary: Good instruction, but lacks one KEY element....
Comment: I like the general flow - it allows a somewhat experienced programmer like myself to learn this language. HOWEVER, to get started (compiling, linking, etc.) the reader is on his/her own. Once beyond that step, it's a good start.
