Book Reviews of Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job (Programmer to Programmer)
Book Review: OK but don't rely on this book alone.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book primarily for the walk-thrus in puzzle solving and eventually came to the conclusion that it did an OK job but not great one. The solutions are often sub-optimal and overly complicated (sloppy), but the biggest problem I have with the book is that is doesn't really develop generalized and reliable approaches to solving problems. Probably the starkest example of this is in the treatment of recursive routines. It talks a lot about recursive solutions but it doesn't provide much guidance in identifying and implementing them.
Overall if you are preparing for a technical interview I would definitely not rely on this book alone. Studying computer algorithms and data structures may be more beneficial.
