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

⭐I had to get this for a class – so I am already biased as I didn’t willfully purchase this myself.The good:-The authors clearly have a thorough understanding of their field and jump right into the syntax and overview of the java language to prepare you for further learning down the road.-The book is descriptive.-Lots of practice problems.-Less dry than it could have been.The bad:-Typical textbook minus nice visuals. Occasionally a visual is there if needed, but overall the book describes each piece. Would have been better with more visuals to articulate ideas.-Some of the practice problems don’t align with the learning objectives for the chapter.-Price is pretty steep.Should you buy it?For a class, yes. If you’re looking to familiarize yourself with data structures – possibly, hence the 3 stars. But I would continue the search and include this book for sure only if you’re buying a few more. But with the cost of this book, I doubt that’s what others would be doing.

⭐I was able to run the example programs in Java. Don’t like the fact that when you do the exercises, the online “hints” are general obscure and don’t help.

⭐I strongly recommend this textbook to all students who will take the courses relate to data structure or database. It is very helpful to everybody.

⭐I bought this version because I read that the student version had many errors.I checked a few chapters and it has errors, which make me think that they didn’t fix anything on this version. I think I would have been better off buying the International Version, which was $20 cheaper, for the same content.

⭐A good book even marked as used, like new. Will like to try cheap used book in the future buy.

⭐Horrible book…Absolutely Horrible coding style and horrendous design pattern. He uses the most counter-intuitive way to write r code. I have never seen one person implement tree’s operations in such an obscure way..The definitions are just so confusing and sometimes contradictory. What is an external node?????????????????????????????Can you tell me that???All the notations and variable names are being thrown around arbitrarily. His code is just not for human to read. How much time have I wasted just to figure out what is a,b,c,d,u,v,w,m??? Absolutely horrible book.

⭐I rented this book for a class. The class was well taught so the book was just there for peace of mind. The explanations and examples in the book are very well written and give a great abstract interpretation of Java ADT’s.

⭐The book isn’t bad, but it’s not the best book ever. It is very mathematical, which I don’t mind, but sometimes the author tries to be way to general and a few more examples would be nice.

⭐This book was mentioned Jonathan Shewchuk at Berkeley for CS61B, I bought the book after listening to his lectures. I found the concepts clearly explained, especially compared to other algorithm of rain offerings. The subject can be mind numbing if badly explained. Good explanation about recursion. Like Lafores Algorithms book, not the only source you will need to gain an understanding of this important field.G&T do a C++ version, which also gets bad reviews, I liked both. I must admit that learning this subject is like digging a garden after a downpour, hard work but worth it at the end of it. I would try Lafore (an old book now, 2003) and then this.

⭐Great

⭐a lot of topics are not clear enough, not explained well,not enough examples and the exercises are hard and not answered

⭐Great book!
