I agree with you. If you start at the first page and go one page at a time
through the book, it introduces each concept one at a time and gives
examples of each. You are taken from simple "Hello World!" to much more
advanced concepts in digestable (at least for me) chunks.
After the reader finishes with that book, they will be familliar with the
syntax of C and know how things are done. They are then ready for a book
on structure and style to build on the fundamentals that K&R provide.
