The problem for some of us is exactly the opposite. It is very popular 
even though the author has repeatedly shown a faulty understanding of C 
(and an even poorer grasp of C++) He writes fluent English  and is 
easily understood. Unfortunately that is not synonymous with being correct.

When a large number of experts find faults repeatedly in an author's 
books it should suggest that there is a problem.

Beginners need good text that are correct and will lead them to learn to 
program well.
