Good book on data-structures with C++... But too much text that makes it boring to read through. I might want to go in search of a better Data structures book.

Amazingly good book… covers all topics in great depth. If at all there is any certification exam for C++, this would serve as a prescribed book for preparation. It is on reading this book, that I got several of my doubts clarified. I am now able to appreciate the language more than ever since my childhood. Even though I read many such books, I liked this the best. I have not found any other book that explains the pointers concept better than this.
