You get what you pay for. More of an overview of what Java can do rather than a true programming book.
If you are starting out learning Java, then this book is NOT for you. If you have programmed quite a bit in java then this book is NOT for you.
With the introduction above, let me start with the good points about the book:
1. A good amount of effort put in for Swing and AWT related concepts.
2. There are some exercise questions to follow after each chapter.
3. Gives some introduction on Android. This I think is good because as a beginner its appealing to know the adaption of Java language.

It saves my life. It's so useful if you want to review all the concepts about this programming language. Also, I learn things that I didn't know because it tells you in a really easy way to understand
Great Java book for beginners. Really does a good job with giving challenging but not impossible exercises to apply your knowledge after each ch.

I got this book for free, so I dropped out of the Java class I'd enrolled in and tried to teach it to myself. Sadly, the title is perhaps optimistic and it's been about 2 years and I've yet to fully grasp Java. Well, naturally I don't *actually* blame the book for it, but I will say that it's not the best programming book I've ever read. It's a good little intro, but its heavy bias towards Windows and its particular set of examples just didn't quite work for me. Could be that it'll work better f

Very good and detailed book.
Full of enough humor to keep you from being completely stupefied.
As a novice to this type of coding I can assure you that I will not be coding in Java in 24 hours.
However, if you have coding background then this is a great book that will get you coding in Java quickly.
I, on the other hand, will be moving slower. However, this has helped give me a few keys to get started.
Worth reading.

It was certainly not 24 hours for the newcomers to Java, but it was informational, it gave great tips, and far more easy to follow than most classes that I've taken.
Good resource for beginners - for the price.
