Bad Book
I was required to get this book for my CS344 class and so far I don't like this book at all. The exercises at the end of each chapter aren't good problems. Don't get it unless, like me, you have to.

A terrible textbook
I would have to say that i'm very much angered by the poor quality of this "textbook", if it can be called a textbook. A textbook, by definition, should try to explain everything in detail as much as possible and convey the concepts in a clear and well-illustrated manner. On the contrary, this book is full of partial details in long-winded sentences, which makes a already hard topic even more difficult to follow. As a textbook, it is counter-productive. Maybe the author dont want to bother, but the lack of detail and jumping of thought is striking in this book, not to mention the incomplete, half-baked C-like Java code that does not even compile. It is a shame that it is used as a textbook anywhere, it is even a bigger shame that some school selects it as textbook for the reason other than academic.

The worst data structure book i've ever read
As a textbook, this book is a total failure. I would avoid it at all cost.
