Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The content could stand to be more specific to help the exercise problems not be so difficult

⭐Very good book, easy to read and understand Programming Languages Concepts.

⭐Required book for class. One of my biggest complaints would be structure. IMO programming books should have above average structure. I should be able to got to the exact topic I want to learn, get the key points from a glance then dive into the material for things I still need clarity on. This book does not easily allow that. I also had issues with some of the prolog examples provided.

⭐I purchased the hard copy and kindle edition of this book. Unlike the reviews before me, I found the kindle edition to be the exact same as the hard copy. The code is readable and matches the hard copy. After reading the first 2 chapters, the book seems easy to understand and provides nice examples to facilitate comprehension.

⭐Required textbook for school. Probably wouldn’t have read it if is wasn’t required reading material. Read it if you have nothing else on the shelf.

⭐Its a really good book to read, a must buy!

⭐I bought the Kindle edition of this textbook, both to save money and to save lugging around another large book. The code samples did not translate well into the Kindle edition, and most of them appear as paragraphs of text, with the lines all run together. This, as you probably know, is a really unreadable way to understand code. Save yourself the trouble and buy the paper edition until this can be fixed.
