Too concise.

If you're new to programming, do NOT pick up this book.
If you have experience in another OO language like Java/C# and want to learn C++ do not buy this book. Well, don't use it as the sole book to your C++ library. Purchase this book along with another more in depth book like C++ Primer.
If you have moderate experience with C++, then pick this book up. It's lightweight so it doesn't clutter your bookshelf. I find it a great reference tool.
