Summary: Great book, but not for beginners
Review: I love this book! If you are an experienced C++ programmer needing help on difficult points of C++ syntax, semantics, or pragmatics, there is no finer book than this one, which I give the highest rating. If you are a novice learning how to program, or even an experienced programmer in another language wanting to learn C++, I would rate it 1 star (at best). It is not organized as a beginner's tutorial, nor was it ever meant to be one. It is for the good (or even expert) C++ programmer who wants to become a master.

Summary: I Hate to Have to Use It
Review: Compared to the "Annotated C++ Standard", this book is a disaster for the working programmer. But Annotated is out of date - also a disaster. So its this or the $175 Ansi standard document if you need the facts. Please, please, finish the promised:The Annotated C++ Language Standard (coauthored by Andrew Koenig, the ANSI C++ committee's Project Editor).

Summary: One of the best references so far I have used for C++
Review: I have been dreaming to find this book "The C++ Programming Language by Bjarne Stroustrup" since 1994 but unfortunately couldn't. But now I have it. It's content is invaluable to all of the C++ developers. Actully if you can extract the C++ knowledge from this book you will be able make your bench mark at C++ and then catch up any of the new languages very quickly. You can make use of the every cell in your brain to understand this book since the author speaks to our mind in a very understandable way with his language,C++!. So, don't be hesitate about your current C++ knowledge, go for this book and be a great C++ developer and make easy your life in programming. No matter you are a beginner it's 100% worth using it and remember you must have this book in your personnel library.

Summary: A book you should read
Review: If you think you are a C++ expert and have not read this book, please read it. I believe it will make you humble. After you master this book, you will become a real C++ expert ! This book is not for beginners. If you feel uncomfortable with this book, please refer to many other books like 21 day books.

Summary: THE C++ book
Review: Not for beginners, but still an excellent book. A complete and deep coverage of the C++ language. A must for serious C++ developments.

Summary: unnecessarily difficult reading
Review: I have found it hard to follow his train of thought while reading. Basic explanation of a language feature, its advanced use & the author's preferences are often mixed together, while how to best utilise the feature is not there (unless you are able to deduce from some very difficult sentences). Even though there is a lot of material, the presentation has let me down. A book like Navigating C++ & OO Design which explains clearly but takes you deep into the language is far better than a haphazard collection of information & ideas.

Summary: a book you should sleep with...
Review: There is no other computer books can ever force me to spend more than a month, actually I have finished a lot of 21 days books within a week. This one, though less than 1000 pages, has consumed me more than 3 months. I still feel there are so much stuff I haven't learned really well...... that is the only C++ book you need after you are familar with it...... no good for beginners though

Summary: The bible of C++, nothing less
Review: This is the definitive work on C++ written by the creator of C++. If you are an experienced professional interested in a deep understanding of the language, this book is for you. Neophytes are urged to look elsewhere.

Summary: C++ programmers, get it and enjoy it; beginners, STAY AWAY!!
Review: If you already know C++ some, I _strongly_ recommend this book. You'll love it, and unless you're a real expert, it'll tell you things about the langauge that you never knew before. It will also clarify fine points that you wondered about. If, however, you're learning the language, this isn't the book to read. It assumes too much knowledge right off the bat. If you do have to use it as a C++ teacher, make sure that you ignore chapters 1-3 (maybe 2-3) the first time through. They assume way more C++ knowledge than a beginner is likely to have.

Summary: It was far more useful than any other tome on C++.
Review: I especially liked the desk calculator and the shape examples
