This review is for the fifth edition which isn't on goodreads yet.

Great book covers all the nuts and bolts of java, a single book covering the basic of Java language, syntax, programming and its packages.
Schildt puts it in one of the most easiest and simplest ways possible for somebody coming from C programming we can just skim the book and dwell into the advanced topics in a quick and easily in matter of hours and not days.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

I think this book is book is enough & great for programmers who want to learn Java at 0 level.
It proved useful to me at the time (about four years ago) but I would probably not like this sort of book if handed to me now.
This edition is old now.
But the book is very complete and clear. Recommended.
