Summary: POOR!
Comment: This book is extremely poor and unclear. I would not recommand it to anyone, from beginner to software engineer.

Rating: 5
Summary: The book of books for beginners.
Comment: If you are a complete beginner to C and programming in general this is the book for you. It gently holds you by the hand and takes you down the merry path of discovery. First off it introduces computers and leads on to cover all the main topics in great detail including complete coverage of what is 'good programming practice'. This was my first programming book and now I am entirely fluent in 4 major programming languages - 2 years later. In 6 months you'll be a C guru. It'll be your bible for many many moons. I loved it. I still use it on occasions as it is also a fantastic reference. As a self taught programmer I really recommend this book.

Rating: 5
Summary: This is an excellent book for beginners.
Comment: A brief look through the book is an invitation to read it.

There are plenty of figures and programming examples, followed by consistent explanations. The most important definitions and remarks are highlighted and there is enough room to make personal notes.

At the end of each chapter the reader will find Tips and Common Programming Errors, Key Terms and a Summary, in addition to Exercises, Problems and Projects.

My experience of using this book in the classroom has shown that students can easily understand it. During the last academic year, 159 students out of 173 agreed that "text and other reading materials were appropriate and useful".
