It's a perfectly valid complaint -- the writing style used in a book is very
important. You can call it straws if you want! And if you *like* your books
to be read like choose-your-own adventures, where you flip back and forth to
determine what's going on, okay, but there's other, better C books where you
don't have to do that.

Uh, it's not "rank propaganda" just because you can find it used for less.
The full, new price is indeed over $80. (In fact, it's more like $100.)

What's with the aggression, here?
