Simply great: It nicely mixes rigor, ease of reading, and humor
I was using a digital copy and I liked it so much, I decided to get a a hard copy. The content of the book is just great and I'm sure you can find more in depth reviews online. The author also has a YouTube playlist, which complements quite nicely the book's content. As for the material, the book feels quite sturdy and the pages feel quite nice, are neither see-through nor glossy.

maybe the best textbook in any field
and I have read a lot of textbooks. This brings you from 0 to 100 in the practical science of algorithms while illuminating the deeper beauty of algorithm design and what it tells us about the nature of reality. This book is a masterpiece.

Best algorithms book I've ever used
This is Parts 1-4 of a 4-part beautifully written textbook on Algorithms, suitable for someone who has already learned the basics of Data Structures. I taught out of this book (got thru most of Part 4) and can't sing its praises enough. The writing is engaging, the examples seem to flow seamlessly (obviously the result of a lot of thought on the part of the author) and the proofs of correctness are at just the right level. There are related videos on youtube, and about half my students went back and forth between the book and the videos. I have taught the Algorithms course out of several of the other popular books but this book has the others beat hands down for clarity, motivation, and explanation of correctness. If you tend to discuss sections of a book in class, you might prefer the 4-part kindle version.

More theoretical than practical
Exceptional book, focuses a lot on the theory instead of practice of algorithms.

The book is amazing
The book is amazing. I have the Vol 1, 2, 3, 4 (Books and Kindle), now the OMNIBUS EDITION - don't hesitate to buy it. It's a very good combination with the Algorithms Specialization from Stanford/Coursera by Tim Roughgarden. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn (more) about Algorithms and Data Structures!
