Title: Neither fish nor fowl
Product review: This book has been at the bottom of my heap since I bought it. It is too long and poorly organized to be a valuable introduction to the C++ language. But it is not a guide to good use of C++ (a la _Effective C++_ or _C++ Strategies and Tactics_), because most of what it presents is bare exposition of language features.On the plus side, it is fairly thorough, with coverage of templates, STL and namespaces.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
