Summary: Great introduction to the subject, wonderful teaching..
Review: I seriously like this book. It's explaining is close to crystal clear to me when I read it, and the algorithms listed (in pseudo-code) take it to a practical level.

Summary: Inadequate Computer Science
Review: In this book, Lewis and Denenberg attempt to explain data structures and associated algorithms. They rely too heavily on obscure proofs, have few, if any worked-out examples and many ambiguously worded questions. Their assesrrtion that a "high school" math background is needed is clearly false. The book also suffers from poor typesetting.

Summary: One of the best books of its type
Review: One of the best ways to discover the strengths and weaknesses of a textbook is to teach a course using it. A few years ago I taught a senior-level course on Data Structures using this book. The book was a joy to teach from, and I would happily use it again -- I thought it was one of the nicest textbooks I've ever used.(In case you haven't figured it out from the above paragraph, I believe that Paul Schreiber's review of this book is far too negative.)

Summary: My favorite data structures and algorithms book
Review: This is my favorite data structures and algorithms book for three reasons. First, this book is well written and easy to read, and that's not always the case for a book like this. Second, it's concise, small, and easy to carry. I'm a consultant who changes assignments often and convenience can be important. And third, the text book problems at the end of each chapter are very interesting and always stretch the mind. There's even a final chapter called Engineering with Data Structures that contains lots of fun computational problems for a rainy afternoon. If you love programming, you'll love this book!

Summary: Great book for beginners...
Review: This is one of the 2 texts we've had for our data structures course. I'm not sure what the other book is, because this one was so good. It covered the material in a clear and precise way. I even have a copy of this book today, for further reference!
