Your best 2nd book about C
So this is definitely not the first book to read about the language: not too many practical exercises, basics are almost never explained, etc. But it gets all the terminology right, covers important dark corners of the language, all while properly referencing CERT C and the language standard. I also like how the author avoids sliding into the usual legalese-like language which the Committee loves so much. So... As I said, it's a good 2nd book on the language, together with Modern C.

Very poor printing quality
This is not a review about the contents of the book. The printing quality is terrible for the price of such a short book.

Incredible book on writing secure modern C code
Bottom line: Buy this book if you're doing work with C. You'll be a better programmer, more deeply understand C, and write better more secure code if you follow this advice. This book is close to a modern K&R (though I still love K&R). You'll get excellent writing, a complete treatment of C and the Standard Library with all the expected code snippets and examples, and tons of priceless knowledge about the behavior of C and its toolchain. Using this book we can have fewer insecure C programs and enjoy C for many years to come! C does not constrain the programmer and lets you interact with the machine and do what needs to be done. But this power comes at a price -- the programmer must understand this power and learn to use it well and safely. This book will get you there. A very well done book by a world class C expert. At $45-$50 it's not cheap but worth every single penny. I predict this will become as well loved and worn as my K&R book.
