Good luck getting the reader to complete the book when you start with C++.

You don't have to like a language to learn from what its designer has to say about it.

Although I would be surprised if Stroustrup says anything that wasn't said in D&E (http://www.research.att.com/~bs/dne.html) and his recent HOPL III paper (http://research.ihost.com/hopl/HOPL-III.html)
