I am fairly new to C and I find this book to be great thus far. I had previously read Perry's Absolute Beginner's Guide to C and while i learned a fair bit, it seemed more dumbed down than I needed it to be. Plus, I found that I really didn't know what to do with what I had learned and thus forgot alot of it rather quickly.

Practical C on the other hand has lots of exercises that are challenging for a person new at C, without ever being "oh, I give up" hard. He seems to have gotten some flak from folks for saying that certain programmers should be shot for their lack of coding style, but I personally found these occasional bits of humor shook me out of feeling in over my head and got me back to doing what I was supposed to be doing, learning C because it is fun.
