It's really a shame that this book gets a bad rap. It's mostly because of a chapter it used to have critiquing K&R (which I thought made a good point) and possibly the online persona of the author (again, I don't agree, but I can see why others might have a problem)
In any case -- it's a great book for beginners, freely available online, and you'll know in 5 minutes whether you like the style or not.
