Okay as a reference but not as a tool for learning,

This review is from: Data Structures and Algorithms in Java (Hardcover)
This book was, at times, painful to read. The sections on dynamic programming were poorly explained and many of the mathematical proofs are dense.Code was usually broken down into two parts: clear and concise pseudo-code (Python-like) and then large sections of poorly formatted and sometimes erroneous Java. As a book meant to introduce readers to abstract data types and algorithms, I felt that this book assumed too much by acting as a reference for the initiated rather than a guide for newcomers.

This review is from: Data Structures and Algorithms in Java, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
Like many other reviewers, I had to purchase this book for one of my CS courses. As a reference book, it gets no more than 1 star. I find it often confusing in its explanations, incomplete code examples and uneven pace. I understand that it was designed to be a textbook, but it miserably fails to be of any value to a student. For 100+ bucks, I expected a lot more.
