Dont use this as an introduction

If you have used the extraodinarily good "C# in a Nutshell" and are hoping to find a simllar book for C++ you will be disappointed.
This book is useful as a reference for people who have had it explained to them and need a reminder. Every time I have tried to look up a definition for the
first time in this book I have been bamboozled, because the definitions are too succinct, I wasnt quite sure what they meant. But when I had read an explanation
elsewhere and came back to this book for a reminder, I found it useful.
You could argue that the fault is that the C++ language is so complicated it's quite a challenge summarising it into the available space.
However some negative reviews have pointed out that there are a few gaps, indicating that it could do with a more polished new edition.
Still, it's a very useful book, and I cant think of anything that can replace it.
