review 1: Average quality. Wouldn't recommend this book. Lacks struсture (not clear why this set of algorithms is covered and why in this order), lacks theoretical soundness, almost no algorithm analysis. The books is definitely not appropriate for learning those algorithms from scratch, and not even particularly appropriate for refreshing the knowledge. One positive factor I can highlight: nice graphical summaries and overall nice illustration for algorithms.
review 2: This is a nice little book to keep on a shelf. It wouldn't be my first pick as a reference for algorithms, however. It was worth reading as it doesn't focus much on the theory of algorithms, instead it focuses on the application of algorithms. It has very helpful "fact sheets" that includes pseudocode an... mored run-time complexity for common algorithms. Overall, it is definitely worth reading but I wouldn't go out of my way to read it. less
