Absolutely marvellous. Clarifies many things about current human society by unrolling our early history in very readable fashion.

Really excellent, I always enjoy reading Stroustrup, and was thrilled to find that he does have recent print publications out - for a long time I had the impression that he'd switched to maintaining online resources only. I expect I'll re-read this pretty soon.

Exceptionally well written. There's an awful lot to absorb, but it's unwrapped in quite a manageable way, and exposes the logic behind the language features in a way that gives decent chance of recalling later after only a simple read-through, at least to the point of being able to accurately Google details on-the job.
