Negative Positive
Title: NOT RECOMMENDED
Review: With all due respect to the author, this book shouldn't have been published in the first place.1. The author is mistaken about the basic concept of data encapsulation, and insists on using accessor functions to access class data members in class member functions (copy constructor, operator=, etc.).2. The author uses lengthy (yet trivial) programs to illustrate the concepts, when a code snip would suffice.
