I bought and read this about a year ago.  It's ok, not great.  

The best way I know to gain coding style (term used loosely) is to work on
kernel code for a while.  it's got a style that a lot of people hate but one
that many come to know and love after a few years of experience.  (I hate
comments for the most part, when there are a lot of them they're almost 
always wrong.  Not true in the kernel, but then there aren't a lot of 
comments either....)
