Summary: University Level material
Comment: I have used this textbook when delivering a second year University class on this topic and found that the thorough coverage of the topics was appreciated by my students. Even more important to them was the large number of examples that are presented, in detail, throughout the text.
This is a University Level textbook, not a Study Guide, and respects the reader's intellectual maturity by preparing them for subsequent classes. The perception of "density" implies that it is best taken with a liberal dose of classroom instruction - not many students seem to intuitively grasp discrete mathematics and learn the material wholly on their own. I know that I certainly did not when I was an undergrad!
For students who feel that the material is difficult, I always suggest using the library for another point of view. I also recommend the Schaum's Outline for Discrete Mathematics as a companion if the student is having significant difficulty with the concepts.
Obviously, I like the book, so why not a 5? Unfortunately, I don't know of any books that I would grant a 5 - the authors can always do something better :-)

Summary: Not for first-time students..
Comment: I'm sure this book covers all the stuff that it's meant to and I'm sure that if I was a post-grad in maths this would be a good book to use. However for anyone else this book is way too heavy reading. The authors have made no attempt to keep the material easy to study and understand. The whole book is just a continuous stream of information with the density of a neutron star and where every 5th or so word is a mathematical formula. Then again maybe I'm just biased because I hate the subject matter - I think it's unnecesarily obscure and difficult for a general computer science course.
And look at the price - that's nearly $150 for us Aussies, (although our uni co-op sells it for about A$90) and that doesn't include shipping fees. Don't you hate it the way they jack up the price on these text books because they know that you have to buy it to have any chance of passing the course.
