I think _terrible _ might be a bit harsh on Grokking Algorithms, but most of it’s curriculum is rather basic, and the few last chapters about graphs, which I’d say is a bit less basic, pretty much require that you inspect the accompanying pdf with illustrations… this might not be a problem of you’re listening while sitting in a train, but it will be a problem if you’re listening while walking the dog (like me).

I would just describe Grokking Algorithms as a bad book, and mostly relevant if you have zero prior experience with Algorithms.

Oh, and the narration of the code snippets is also pretty useless IIRC.

Ok, while writing this, I realize that “terrible“ might actually be well deserved.
