These Authors achieved the impossible.

OK I gotta say that I agree with ALL of the reviews listed about the book. What the 5 start and 1 star reviewers say is true so it depends on what you look for in a book. When you read a book you can tell if the author truly cares about the success of the reader. When they do then that is what makes it a great book. The spirit and extra care James and Ken seem make is taking the scary mask off the data structure beast. They use example we can all relate to from our everyday lives. When they are done you vividly understand this material. Their ability to do this is matched by very few books. It helped me immensely and my standards are very high.

Yes I did squint when they talked about memory space 2 and the figure arrow points to memory space 3. That is minor compared to what this book does well. The stories and examples are great and it turned something I struggled with for months into an achievement over a single weekend. So how do you rate such a book? The greatness of this book far outweighs the minor mistakes. I am torn between 4 and 5 stars and feel the average needs me to pull this up to more of what is deserves so here are my 5 stars. In fact if it were not for them some minor editing oversights it would be the perfect book. I would like to read other books created by this dynamic duo of James and Ken. Nice work!
