Review: Excellent - Excellent for all levels - maybe the new K&R
Review: Mid. - It's ok but it's not great. It does not include a lot of things I would have included (defer and it's various existing implementations, for example). I don't really recommend this as an interesting read or a guide to the state of the art in C.

### ⭐⭐ Mid.
*by N***R on 5 April 2025*

It's ok but it's not great. It does not include a lot of things I would have included (defer and it's various existing implementations, for example). I don't really recommend this as an interesting read or a guide to the state of the art in C.

### ⭐ Damaged book
*by M***O on 16 February 2021*

I received a damaged copy, the cover is completely scratched and the inside is bent. It seems like it fell to the floor and something went over it.
