I read a chunk of this book for my algorithmics class.
The explanations aren't always good, I had to research things on my own every now and then.
The exercises are good, but it's a bit of a shame that the most complicated ones aren't provided with solutions.

i dont know, im here cause i have to.

A good book as a reference to graph theory, but not as a book to learn graph theory because many important aspects are provided as exercises without any additional reference to the correct solution and explanation.
