   If you're looking for 99.9% of the questions interviewers will ask in a typical coding interview, this book covers most of the good ones. I really like the format of the book, it's a large book and it's formatted like those old Schaum's help books, with mostly C++, but some perl i seen, and some java questions as well. The author has written books on all 3, and the questions and answers are clearly written and easy to understand. Also the price is right. Take a look at the table of contents, it was enough to convince me to take a chance with the book and it delves into man subjects, OO, memory, pattterns, data structures, sorting, searching, etc. Keeping this on the bookshelf as it's a good reference as well.

   I would highly recommend this book for prepping for tech interviews. The author styles the chapters similarly to CTCI's (Cracking the coding interview) by introducing a bit of the theory of overview of the topic before diving into the questions. There are typos and grammar mistakes everywhere, but nothing that would present any ambiguity or confusion about the important stuff. The presentations of solutions, the meat of this book, are left intact. The author doesn't just copy paste question-answers from across the web either; often times for a harder problem, there's a progression of solutions from brute-force to the most clever one. Overall, this book has personally helped me tremendously.

   This is a big book with lots of tutorial and examples. There is a very consistent format and style, with very predictable progression. For a self published and self edited work, this is a good book. At times, author's English, though correct is not quite American. The technical notation is lucid. The solutions are in pseudo code and easy to understand. Love it.

   This author covers all the topics needed to learn data structures.Hats off to him. Taking the same questions and reducing time complexity using different methods was very very impressive...You learn what DS to use to reduce the complexity... Totally love the book..would recommend it for any one without a second thought..

   This book is very good. Has solutions ranging from easy to difficult. It also explains concepts very well. Of course, it is not a regular text book. So if you are new to the data structures, this isn't for you. If you have basic idea of data structures, this gives a good refresher and provides lots of questions so that you can improve your skills before the interview. Definitely a book to read to prepare for technical interviews

   This book is completely different than the traditional book. This book is more problem analysis oriented and provides different approaches on how the problem can be solved. Each problem is dealt with algorithm analysis and the techniques which can be used.Especially topics on Graphs/Trees/Strings and dynamic programming are excellent and covers many problems which you find in other text books. This is the way the interviewers will be looking and this book helps very much in cracking the interview of any top notch companies.This book helps in building the skills to solve any kind of algorithm problem/data structure puzzles.
   
   Advantages when compared with other books
   Complete program are available when compared with other books
   Wide variety of problems and optimized algorithms on how to solve them with best complexity
   covers design patterns also

   I must confess that his book is one of the most awesome ones that anyone who is interested in data structures, algorithms, meta-heuristics, could come across. The book is good for someone looking out on an intermediate to advanced level stuff on aforesaid subject, and its has ample stuff for any newbie enthusiast too. While this book is an excellent one from the interview point of view, it would serve equally well to those who work, and those who love tackling teasers in their past time.
   
   The subject is dealt in great detail and problem solving is the primary focus, which I truly loved. It saves you a lot of time to have all kinds of questions aggregated at one place of varying difficulty, rather than having to look for them on internet or elsewhere. The best part about the book is the organization and approach to problems. It is not merely a question and answer book, it instigates you to think about the problem, come up with something and the compare it against what is provided as a solution. The language is lucid and easy to understand and the typical approach towards any problem is to come up with a solution anyhow (say O(n^2)) and then going on improving the complexity to O(NlogN) and then finally to an O(N). All the examples are annotated with comments and their space/time complexities.The approach is more of a critical-thinking one, the book helps you build an aptitude towards attacking a problem. While most books give you only the best algorithm towards a problem (and you never get to learn about the bad ones, which is necessary too), this book slowly builds up from just a possible solution to the best possible one. For those who think Levitin, CLRS, Cracking the coding is do-able, try cracking the whole of this!!!!
