What can you say about a book that has 41+ reviews, and all with close to perfect marks?
I bought this book not as it required so by almost any and all classes that teach about compiler design, but because I was interested in compilers and didn't have a chance to take class as part of my degree. It's a great book. Explains things well, and there are enough supporting material on the web that you can do a self paste study on your own and still get a lot out of this book.

Trivial, non-constructive, hard-to-follow, terrible
The worst textbook I've ever read.
For Many times I've been confused by the author's explanation for some very simple ideas.

Good introduction to compiler theory
I took a course on compiler design and implementation
and i would say that this book can really introduce
compiler concepts but its very pascal based. Read more

Not well written
If you find yourself struggling with this book, it is probably
not your fault. The book is not well written or well organized. Read more

An overly academic out-of-date, but classic work
This book, in its time, was a classic. When it was published
it was one of the best books available on compiler design. Read more

The most overrated classic
If you study langages and compiler design, you WILL hear about "the dragon book". Yet, it is the worst book I've read on the subject. Read more

Dry as Gin
My graduate compiler class used this book. I hated it. The book is dry and seems to be disorganized to the untrained eye. Read more

disorganized
the biggest problem with this book is that it's very disorganized. i guess one reason might be that each of the 3 authors are so full of themselves that each one speak their own... Read more
