Summary: amazing
Review: This book was not my first. I had previously tried starting C programming with An Absolute Beginner's Guide to C. It worked well for a little bit, but I had to stop due to a lack of clarity and motivation. C Programming: a Modern Approach is such an improvement from my other programming book. C Programming: A Modern Approach doesn't treat me like I'm stupid...it's clear enough so that I gradually understand C lingo over the course of the book. My current work with it so far has been very smooth and...not easy...but effective. The exercises at the end of each chapter aren't a waste of time...they're useful and also not overdone. It's simply a cut above the rest.

Summary: The full treatment!
Review: This is probably the best book for learning to program in C. The coverage is full of details and the author does a great job in satisfying the reader without being borring.
In my opinion, if you are learning C for the first time, you might want to first get a simpler book (I recommend "Teach Yourself C in 24 Hours"). But when you are ready to get the full treatment get this book.

Summary: Read this book and you don't get "C sick!".
Review: This is the first book that everyone should read in order to learn C. The style is simple and very easy to understand. Please read this book before you read any other C's books if you are novice in programming.

Summary: Learning C is easy with this book
Review: This is the second of King's books I have purchased. It is also the second that I am very very pleased with.
This book presents a quick systematic clear way of learning to program in C period. This has to be the easiest programming book I have ever read that goes beyond absolute basics.
Frankly I don't understand the few negative reviews others have given the book. Yes it would have been nice to have answers to the exercises. However this is a programming book, you get the answers yourself by doing the work. Mistakes are readily apparent, simply because it won't work!
In terms of difficulty, the exercises are doable. There have been a few that did stump me.....for a little while. With a bit of rereading and some experimenting, I have managed to answer all that I have attempted.
Do yourself a favor if you are learning C and buy the book either as a stand alone or as a supplement to another book.

Summary: Very good !
Review: This is without a doubt my favorite C book and I use it often when programming in C. This is a must own for anyone who needs to brush up or learn more about the C language.

Summary: Complete introduction you will understand.
Review: This text is a must for those looking to *learn* C. It doesn't just show you what C does and leave you. The author explains concepts thoroughly and this is critical when you are reading and studying on your own without a mentor to ask questions to.It is an easy decision whether you should have this book on your shelf ... the answer is yes.

Summary: Great textbooks are very valuable
Review: This textbook is extremely well written. I got it when I was learning C and it was perfectly suited to this - I don't have any criticisms. It made me realize that there are some textbooks that are a class above the majority and that the time spent finding the good ones will quickly be repaid.

Summary: Buy This Book. It's the Best!!!
Review: This was my first C book. I needed a jump start in C and Mr. King did it for me. The book is well written. The code examples are well thought out and THEY WORK! Now that I'm more experienced in C/C++ I still go back to King. It's an awesome reference book. No matter what your skill level, this book will teach you something. Get it, read it, code the examples, ponder the awesome Q&A's at the end of every chapter... You'll be glad that you did.

Summary: Great Book
Review: You probably can't find a better introductory C text. King does an excellent job of parcelling the C language out into small, learnable chunks. The exercises will make you think, but they're not impossible or tedious. Some basic Algebra is required, but King always gives you the information needed to complete the exercise.
