5.0 out of 5 stars Enormously entertaining and exceedingly helpful!, 14 May 1997

By A Customer

This is among the five "must have" books on the astute C programmer's bookshelf. Actually, it spends little time on the shelf since one refers to it time and time again. This slim volume packs a lot of information about those "gotchas" that still "getcha" (when you least expect it). The Introduction is "Chapter 0", your first hint that Koenig knows and respects the subject. His treatment of unscrambling complex declarations is especially good.

Why a 9 instead of a 10? Simple. Andy: please release a new version! The ANSI/ISO standard is almost ten years old. :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother, 8 Nov 2001

By	David Richerby - See all my reviews

This book deals almost exclusively with pre-ISO C and much of what it has to say is, as a result, no longer relevant unless you're trying to convert old code into ISO C. The book is also extremely poor value for money at 16.5 pence per page. This is all a great shame as it's very well-written and the author's knowledge of his subject is impressive.

A version updated for ISO C would be a really great book. In the mean time, buy Peter van der Linden's ``Expert C Programming'' instead. It's over twice as thick and only slightly more expensive.
