This is the kind of question that is hard to answer for everybody.
Different people think differently. I often stumble where others don't.
And I often stroll through what others find hard. I am wondering if people
who have read Lippman's _Inside the C++ Object Model_ believe it improved

Also. Is it a page-turner, or a challenge to get through?

I haven't read the book, but I know for sure that as a former C programmer
it definitely helped me to translate C++ constructs into the equivalent C.
I'm thinking particularly of virtual functions and multiple inheritance. In
fact I would go as far as to say it was when I understood how these two are
implemented in C terms that the penny dropped and I really began to progress
in C++. I've gone past that phase now and I can 'think in C++' but it
definitely helped during the transition.

There would be something seriously wrong with anyone who acquired new
knowledge about C++ without synthesizing it into better programming
practices. I don't think anyone, regardless of the depth of their
experience, could walk away from "Inside the C++ Object Model" without at
least one new insight on C++, and that alone should be enough to improve
their coding.
Also. Is it a page-turner, or a challenge to get through?
That's subjective. I couldn't put it down, but I've given up on alleged
page-turners from Anne Rice and Stephen King after a couple of interminable
chapters.

Lippman's books are frequently recommended by experienced programmers. My
criteria for choosing Stroustrup over Lippman were 1) Stroustrup created
the language, 2) Stroustrup had cooler epigraphs. Actually, I didn't like
the print format off the one book I looked at. It felt like a sophomore
textbook. Probably a style that appeals to a majority, but not to me. As
you can tell, I used discerning reason to select my learning materials.
I did some checking on who Lippman is. Quite an interesting bird, he. Does
a lot of stuff that appeals to me, such as the movie graphics. I broke my
word about Koening and Moo being my last C++ book for the foreseeable
future. I just ordered Lippman's _Object Model_, and _C++ Templates: The
Complete Guide_, by Vandevoorde and Josuttis.

For good reasons. He's clear and thorough and he knows his stuff.

Why choose one over the other? You can't go wrong owning both and sometimes
what you don't understand immediately in one, the other clarifies.
I did some checking on who Lippman is. Quite an interesting
bird, he. Does a lot of stuff that appeals to me, such as the

He was interesting even before going to work for Satan Disney.

Make sure you get Alexandrescu's "Modern C++ Design" as a complement. You'll
find yourself liberally flipping between the two.

I found "Inside the C++ Object Model" to be indispensable for a deeper
understanding of the core language constructs of C++.
In my opinion a "must read" for anyone serious about C++.
An easy read? Definitely not.
