Summary: A good First Book on Algorithms
Review: This text is an excellent choice to learn about the data structures most commonly employed in C++. The author breaks down topics in to small well focused chapters that help beginning programmers concentrate on one structure at a time.The algorithms are treated in a comprehensive manner. Besides the usual sorting and graph techniques many advanced and specialized topics such as file compression and cryptology are discussed. In sum, it ia a good second book to buy when studying C++.

Summary: A very good and explaining book for begginers on algorithms
Review: When I bought this book I didn't know anything about algorithms. This book helped me to learn developing various types of algorithms. The bad stuff is that part 5-8 is not published yet. This book is analytical and methodical so anyone can learn programming algorithms. I like it very much.

Summary: Crunch Time
Review: When you are ready to take the bold step into algorithms, this book is a great second step. I say second step because I think it helps if you read "teach yourself algorithms in 21 days" before this book. This book deals with a good number of algorithms and does not shy away from reasonable analysis. The book helped a lot when I was having problems with putting a good harsh function together. The chapter on recursion is also very good too. In order to write decent code you have to know about this difficult/painful subject and this book takes some of that pain away.
