Funny writing style, Detail explanation (sometimes too much detail that could piss me off). Deep coverage of OCJP exam objectives. Challenging exercises and Good summaries at the end of each chapter. If you are going to take OCJP exam, this book is for you.
This book...well, it means a lot to me. I taught myself programming out of it. I'd worked my way through Apress's SCJP guide, which was crap. Then I heard this book is THE guide to the exam, so I worked through it too. In my mind, not only is this book THE guide to SCJP, it's THE guide to Java itself, or even to programming and computer science to some extent. Somehow it manages to teach to the test AND teach CS concepts incredibly thoroughly while being actually entertaining. It taught me what

The book seems good at what it is designed for. Okay, my take while reading the book and doing the quizzes at the end of each chapter was that this had to be the most worthless certification on the planet. The quiz questions seemed more inclined to try to trick and misdirect than to really test anything of value, so I was pretty down on it as a result. But I had committed to taking the exam, so I prepared anyway. I read the book twice and did all the questions at the end, studying the answers ca

The technical base for any java programmes. This completely covers the java part of what i think a java junior should know.
The book itself is a well crafted manual that helps you absorb and structure all the 800+ pages showing that authors are not only good technicians but also awesome teachers.
And as bonus you get to easily pass a certification. An example for any manual!

The read was difficult, but it serves its purpose. Each subject is written thoroughly to a fault. Each time you read it, you will walk away with with a better perspective on Java. You're always guaranteed to walk away with something. The only problem is making it through! I pick a random chapter every now and then to re-enforce the concepts.
It is really easy to read and makes Java Fun LOL.
It addresses topics in a more engaging manner.
Realistic and challenging problems well explained.
Each Chapter is focused to one topic and it is well written
Overall, it is a five star book for anyone who'd love to get Cert'd

Read for exam (which I passed thanks to this book and practise tests included) and still use as reference
Here is the thing, want to prepare for the SCJP 6 exam? This is the book to read. It tackles each of the 38 objectives of the exam in great detail and a very neatly-organized 10-chapter structure. The book assumes no prior knowledge of the topics, just that you know your way around Java programming- compiling and running programs. The only chapter that might feel a bit messy is the I/O section (chapter 6), but if you know your way around Java I/O you will have no troubles with it. In short, SCJP

Superb
Must-have book to pass OCJP/SCJP 6
This is a very well-done certification-prep book. It is informative, has great sample test questions, and is often funny in a geeky, nerd sort of way (though the promised twist ending is something of a dud). The only complaint I had was that it needed more exercises. It gave great examples, but didn't have the reader actually try them out enough. If not for that, it would have been 5 stars.
Recommended for anyone studying for the exam.

Why you're reading the book matters. If it's to clear the exam it's the best that there is. of course, just learning from the book will do no good, but reading this will help you learn a few things. If you're reading this to "learn" java. You should understand that you're "learning" java not learning how to use java. It's just a different way of saying that you're learning the fundamentals in quite a detailed manner, which is good.
I read this book 3 times, beside it is the best resource to prepare for SCJP/OCPJP , it is a good material if you really want to master Java, I'm sure you will learn new stuff in this book, personally i found many new things i never knew about !, also this book organizes information in a good manner, make concepts clear !, i really recommend it for all java developers even if are not preparing for certification !
il particolare stile di scrittura degli autori si rivela effettivo anche qui, pur non essendo portato agli estremi "visuali" della serie "Head first"; i contenuti, nel limite degli argomenti di certificazione, sono ben sviluppati, e lo consiglierei anche a chi volesse approfondire le basi del linguaggio, pur non essendo interessato a certificarsi
a great book for who are interested in being Java Certified, it explains most of Java Core aspects, with also a variety of solved questions that cover most ot topics related to J2SE
I am finally done with my certification :)
THIS BOOK HELPED ME IN UNDERSTANDING THE THINGS IN BETTER WAY. I WILL NOT RECAMOND IT FOR THE JUST STARTER TO READ THIS BOOK
U KNOW THE BASIC CONCEPT AND WANT TO KNOW EXPOLRE IT IN A BETTER WAY THEN ITS A VERY GOOD BOOK

A truly fascinating and easy to read book about Java. I've finished it even though I don't plan to pass Java 6 examinations (Java 7 exams are available already). I liked the author's jokes a lot, and generally the way information is presented is quite easy to get.
This is the best book I have seen for Core Java concepts. Not recommended for beginners though, as it travels wide discussing Java concepts, but doesn't delve deeply into individual topics. A must-read if you feel you are at an intermediate level of Java programming.
It was a long fight but I managed to finish it. Will see how it helps with the test.
I actually liked the book. There is a lot of interesting information and authors are doing their best to put it in understandable way (with jokes once in a while).

It's doing a good job at keeping content concise. I read it when I was in my early phase of career, but book was organized in such a way that it did not overwhelm me. I hope they come up with something equally good for Java 8.
Not exist a better book to understand and get ready to pass the OCJP 1.6.
All Java issues are very well explain with a simple and clear language.
Thanks Kathy!!

Actually this book is not the best I've read, however it covers great all of the topics which were on the exam. The written language is also not that hard to understand. It could be better though.
Great preparation for the exam, I aced it first try.
As far as the reading, it was a bit of a chore (considering this book comes in a 830 pages or so when you count all the mock exams, etc).

Good book. But more importantly, great to be certified. Enough with this unnatural and tricky test which is unfortunately the pre requisite of other more interesting certification exams.
