I got this book as a giveaway from Goodreads - Thank you!
As my spouse is a programming genius, I handed this over to him for his review. Easiest way to say it is he loves it - it remains on his desk as a handy reference. Apparently, coding is sort of like learning a foreign language - you can be conversational in it, but, there are just certain things that don't stay in your mind - like the future conditional tense of irregular verbs.

A handy reference guide complete with easy-to-understand examples, tables and diagrams. This is not meant to teach programming but is rather a must-have next to your computer as quick reference material. I would consider other "Pocket Guide"s if they are all as organized and accessible as this.
A great helper when someone wants to find out how to write Java code (I mean by syntax) quickly. It has nice coverage on all the fundamentals though not giving detailed explanation on some specific technical features (especially those introduced by Java 8). Overall as a pocket guide, it is good enough!
Simple a clear refresher of Java. Would be great if features that appeared after Java SE 6 were outlined specifically alongside the version they appeared in.
As a beginner to Java this book is a handy guide to have. It is nice not to have to rely totally on Google for reference questions.
