There are also negative reviews about the length and style of the book,<ref>{{cite web|title=Russ Allbery Review Code Complete|url=http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/reviews/books/0-7356-1967-0.html|access-date=2015-06-28|date=2015-01-05|quote=I'm quite disappointed, since I'd heard nothing but praise for this book before picking it up. But it's not for me, and I'm now dubious of its value for any programmer outside of a fairly narrow, large-team, waterfall development process involving large numbers of people writing very large quantities of code in languages that aren't very expressive. And, well, in that situation I think one would get more benefit from changing that environment than reading this book.}}</ref> which runs to over 900 pages and goes into detail on many topics.
