Summary: Well rounded book
Review: I looked at several other C++ books and this one seems to be the cream of them all. It has some particularly strong sections e.g The Generic Algoritms section is excellently written. One problem is the size of the book, it took me many months to read it end to end, but it was well worth the investment. Reference sections are clearly marked to save the reader from what may be unecessary material. Get the book .....

Summary: Really nice book!
Review: It is really a nice book. I have many C++ books on hands. This one absolutely outperforms the others. I can learn a lot from it. I feel like an expert is always standing beside me.

Summary: Crud. Absolute complete utter crud.
Review: I am very sorry that I am not allowed to give this book zero stars. To make things very simple. DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. Unless that is you relish the oppurtunity of reading things like "well, we'll show you this advanced stuff now, but we're not going to explain it until chapter 16", and, should you dare to skip ahead you will be confronted by even more references to other sections of the book detailing even more advanced stuff. Of course if this is your idea of FUN, please go ahead. You'll LOVE this book.

Summary: This is a very good 2nd book on C++
Review: If you don't know C++ or C, you might want to look elsewhere first, but come back here after you have a handle on the basics. This book will help you the most once you have a firm initial grasp on the language. I found Lippman's coverage of most of the language very good. His coverage of objects, however, seemed a bit too terse. I kept waiting for him to say things he never did. That aside, however, this is a great book for the person who wants to shore up his knowledge of C++. This book goes way beyond any of the "21 days" kind of books. You'll get a real understanding for how and why a lot of the language works. You really should read this book if you want to really learn C++.

Summary: Head for higher water....
Review: I'm quite confused about who the intended audience of this book is for. The book's cover would suggest that its for beginners but it is written in such a way that a beginner would have a tough time with it. And it is not an advanced book by my definition. What really ruined this book is the rediculous layout of the book. Whoever made the decision to write this book this way should be forced to program in Prolog for the next 6 months or read the entire "War And Peace" while standing on one foot. You don't present material early in a book and then explain it many chapters later! This goes against the human thought proccess. The material should have been presented with some semblance of logical order! Lippman knows his stuff, he just does'nt know how to write. I would recommend passing this one over for a more clearly written book.

Summary: Not the best out there
Review: While this book does have some useful info, there are MANY books out there that are MUCH better. The best thing I can think of is that the pages have a very nice texture, but that doesn't say much.

Summary: I "Teach Myself C++" with this book.
Review: I don't know anything about C++, even though I have a master degree in computer science. I need to learn C++ because we are in the process of converting C code to OO paradigm. C++ is the first choice. This book was given to me by my boss (I did not spend a dime). I read it from cover to cover, and I am reengineering our application in C++. In my opinion, this is an execllent book, althought I didn't read any other C++ books. I like to give it 5 stars, because during the past 5 months I learn more than just a languag syntax. I could give this book a bad review so nobody wants to read it. But it is not fair, isn't it?

Summary: Excellent In Depth Info
Review: Excellent thorough book. Not for novice programmers. After reading this book, you know C++ inside out.

Summary: The best C++ tutorial I know
Review: I use this book (russian translation) in my C++ course for 5 years. It proved to be very good. It is the best C++ tutorial I know.
