+ - This book has 2 parts:
+ - class textbook on data structures and algorithms
+ - pros:
+ - is a good review as any algorithms textbook would be
+ - nice stories from his experiences solving problems in industry and academia
+ - code examples in C
+ - cons:
+ - can be as dense or impenetrable as CLRS, and in some cases, CLRS may be a better alternative for some subjects
+ - chapters 7, 8, 9 can be painful to try to follow, as some items are not explained well or require more brain than I have
