- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is totally the best one.The book gives much useful and important information.I highly recommend this book for every man.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have some familiarity with computer science and thought this book would be an easy bland review of some of the basics. In other words, I wasn't expecting much. I was very pleasantly surprised! The basics are covered well but recent findings in the field of computer science are also included. I actually learned a few things I didn't know. And explaining the concepts in terms of everyday experience (not just abstractions) makes the book very accessible to those with no background in CS.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I enjoyed reading about different algorithms that we use in real life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book describes Algorithms in a different manner compare to Algorithms which was taught in our school.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The concepts in the book could have meaning if it wasn’t too scientific.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is much easier to read. New mathematical techniques and great for analytical thinking.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The book is a very good introduction to several mathematical concepts that many people have heard of, but don't know much about. Brian Christian also does something very clever: he makes these concepts eminently relatable.
