Query: VERY DRY

I normally do not review books, but I feel so strongly negative towards this one.The book is very dry - there is an example at the beginning of each chapter to serve as a motivation, but other than that, the examples are very plain. In addition, he does not give enough material to work all of the problems. The examples are very basic and full of horrid notation. There are a lot of holes in the logic as well.A plus side is that the algorithms are not difficult to implement with only a few notational quirks to deal with (but none of them have detailed explanations).From a student's perspective, you should steer clear away from this one.
