Summary: The Best Book in Quantum Chemistry for Advanced Users
Comment: Yes, its indeed one of the best book one can have if anyone wants to do computational quantum chemistry, provided you are an advanced user. The introduction of basic quantum chemistry is essential to tolerate this Computational Quantum Chemistry Tonic. This includes everything you want to know about Comput. Quantum Chemistry. A Worth Investment...for better benefits from the gold mine of subject. I need few more stars to rate this book.

Summary: INSIGHTFUL! A FINE REVISION TEXT
Comment: One of the most attractive qualities of this book is how it managed to maintain its insight in both adiabatic and non-adiabatic phenomena. Its computational perspective indicates the need for aspiring users to have basic knowledge of Physical Chemistry.
As was manifested by it contents, this book is an upper-level undergraduate text, which furnishes its reader with the fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics. It brushed across a wide range of topics, and did a good job in explaining the kinetics of: Chemical Equilibra, Spectroscopy, Atomic/Molecular Transitions, and Computational techniques.
The book's scope is summarized, but wide enough. It has depth. However, some of the most recent advances in Quantum Chemistry are missing in it. Overall, I would say that this text is a fine compendium, which should serve as a notebook-alternative. Better reserved for revisions!

Summary: Best bang for your buck
Comment: So if you want to do computational quantum chemistry and you know your quantum mechanics already, this is the best book for you. If you are an amateur, try getting Levine or Atkins first, since they spend a lot more time on the math steps and make the material more transparent.
This is the gold standard for anyone who needs to learn CI and electronic perturbation theory at the abstract level. Most computational chemists will need to look at Jensen's book or others (maybe the above for basics) to get a better sense of application based explanations.
With the maturing of coupled-cluster theory, this book is now even more dated and should be used only as an introductory text for graduate chemistry courses.
By the way, "INSIGHTFUL! A FINE REVISION TEXT" is either referring to another book or this person has no idea what they are talking about. There is no kinetics or spectroscopy in this book and as it is about ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE, there is no coverage of any dynamics, be they adiabatic or non-adiabatic, electronic or nuclear.
