Balancer Vote
Once I read one 5 star review from one of the authors and another from someone claiming to not have read the book but wanting to give the authors the benefit of the doubt, I decided I should enter a one star vote to balance things out a bit. I just heard about this book in an interview and thought I'd check out the reviews. This is not to say the book doesn't deserve 5 stars, but this should be left to those who have actually purchased and read the book, not those who haven't or the authors of the book. After submitting this review I will be reporting it as inappropriate just as I have for the author's vote and the "benefit of the doubt" vote.
Clearing things up...
To the author, might makes things clearer if you allowed folks to examine a handful of pages like most other publishers/authors do on Amazon. I gave this book 5 stars for the benefit of the doubt because I have not read it yet.
Pierre - Great review! :|.
The holy book of algorithms
It is both detailed and concise. Yes, this is the HOLY BOOK OF ALGORITHMS. But I do not think that it is for introductory level algorithm courses. Rather it is appropriate as a reference. .
