Is Cracking the Coding Interview a good book to have?

I found a copy of the 2020 6th edition at a used book store and I left it there. Would it be worthwhile to go back and get this book? Is the interview format presented in this book even used still (as a web dev, software engineer, software developer)? It seems to be a lot of algorithmic questions and answers. I just needed to know if this was worth the time reading it in particular, this is a thick book.

Hey, I have read this book before and it is indeed a quite thick book. I particularly enjoyed reading it, especially because I got to understand more about interviews in general. I think this is a great read, specially if you interesting in learning more about FAANGs hiring processes, specially if you are interested in applying ;p
