Title: A well-written, easy-to-read, tremendously dangerous book.
Review: Herb Schildt finds a wide audience among new C programmers, mostly due to his amicable writing style and clear, logical organization. While these qualities would be desirable for most books, they are what make "C: The Complete Reference" such a danger. Much of the information that Herb so eloquently gives is by and large tripe; many examples in this book demonstrate a lack of understanding of some of the most basic points of C. The result is an entertaining, rip-snorting read that leaves the reader dazzled, thirsty for more, but none the wiser (and thoroughly misinformed) in terms of the C programming language. This book is to be avoided at all costs, and is unfortunately typical of most modern C books.
