A very enjoyable read. Not only will you learn aspects of C in great detail (the section on pointers vs. array is excellent), but the author writes in a witty manner I haven't typically found in programming books. (The style reminded me a bit of Programming Perl by Larry Wall.)

This book was written by one of the developers on the Sun compiler team. It is an excellent insight into some of the darker corners of C. I think I learned more about C from this book than from any other.

A poorly written "me too" Java book.
