Cracking the coding interview is a great book for interview preparation. It has detailed explanation of all the questions. But it's not a book for beginners. It's for those who want to brush up on their data structure and algorithmic skills for upcoming technical interviews.
As a beginner you will find Introduction to Algorithms by CLRS much more engaging and useful. It starts from scratch. You'll learn about Time and Space Complexity as well as the need for complex data structures. You'll see the Math behind each data structure and algorithm. You'll read about use cases for each data structure. You'll learn data structures and algorithms incrementally unlike Cracking the Coding Interview.
