Summary: Elegant and Brief but Not for Beginners
Review: If You want to start programming with C without any background You will have a hard time learning using this book.
However, if You already know the basic ideas behind programming then don't waste Your time with other 500+ pages books.
Learning how to program is easy when You learn painful details after not during learning the fundamentals and structures. The pace of the book is in such a way that challenges You instead of exhausts/bores You.

Summary: Not the best.
Review: Altogether a good book. Not very good for beginning programmers and a bit to brief. It doesn't cover many topics well enough.

Summary: Excellent Reference Book with Terse Examples.
Review: This is the one and only book to have on the C programming language, written by the original developers of the language. It covers all of the syntactic and semantic issues of the language. Any question regarding C can be answered here and can be located quickly thanks its good index. I am impressed by the completeness of this text, it includes very useful information such as: precedence and associativity rules, bit-wise operators, the preprocessor, control structures, pointers, the standard C library, I/O, interaction with the UNIX operating system, and a complete language specification. The list goes on! For nearly every feature of the language, there are very useful exercises that will either familiarize the reader with the feature or clarify the reader's previous knowledge. Although many of the examples are targeted towards intermediate or advanced programmers, beginning programmers should be able to get a lot out of many of the examples. I have purchased many 1000+ page books on different languages including C and have found that many are incomplete and spend numerous pages on topics that can be stated in one or two paragraphs. This book in around 250 pages covers everything you need to know about the C programming language and I would highly recommend getting a copy for your own library.

Summary: C programmer's bible
Review: What can I say that hasn't already been said? If you don't own this book you are not a C programmer! This is basically the C programmer's bible, but don't expect that it teaches you how to program. You need to come from a background of previous programming experience.

Summary: Perhaps the best educational book of all time
Review: K&R C is easily the best book on C ever written. It is certainly the best programming language book, perhaps even the best educational resource, I've ever come across. I feel pained when people say it is not good for learning C, or too difficult etc. I have found it great (not just good mind you) for both learning and reference, and continue to believe that if you cant learn C from K&R C, then perhaps programming is not your cup of tea. The greatest traits of this book are conciseness and yet, a remarkable thoroughness. It is also amazing how quickly one can find a solution to a problem... even the index is concise yet thorough. It is also written like an educational book should be written... humbly and objectively. K&R C is a classic not only for its educational value, but also for the beauty of its writing. This is a must-have for any programmer worth their salt.

Summary: Good overview of the language, but not for beginners.
Review: For some reason, this book was assigned to one of my intro to comp-sci classes. It definitely does not fit such profile as it provides a great overview of the language, how it's built, how it works, and its applications, however, it does not teach to program. If you already know the basics of programming and are proficient in a similar language (e.g. Java), this may be an interesting read to understand the workings of the C language, but by no means expect it to provide little "classes" to teach you to be a C programmer.
Good overview of the language, targetted at more advanced programmers.

Summary: A great reference to have on your desk!
Review: This is not the type of book you'd really want to read cover to cover but it is probably the best C reference I have ever seen. Hard to beat for the price.

Summary: Amazing book
Review: I bought this book coz i'm a novice to C and my collegue teacher use it in the class. It's a bit hard to beginners like me, but with other beginner book it's perfect. Have everything you want to know... like pointers =) I recommend it to all the people...

Summary: Simply the best C programming language reference
Review: This book is a classic. The description of all facets of the language is succinct and clear. So much information is lucidly expounded in so few pages. If you do C, you need this!
