Summary: Fails Selt Test answers
Comment: Purchased this book in order to prepare for the SCJP exam. I found that the replies on the self test were not enough and found myself keep trying to workout the solution from the main material and some times could not.
Bit more description on the answers would have earned it a 5-start but without only a 3-start and unfortunately the need to purchase another book with better explanations on the self-test questions

Summary: Best book Ever
Comment: I think this is the first review I have given to any book so far bought from Amazon:

This was the first book I ever read from start to end(2nd one is Head first Servlets and JSPs). I am not a good reader an am more into class room lectures. This book is exactly what I am into. It gives you a feeling of being in a class room and answers all the queries that come to your mind within 1-2pages.

I have cleared SCJP only by reading this book and _ONLY_ this book.

You don't need any other book to clear SCJP. (it is a complete reference).
+points:

* Very simple English.(Something that non-native speakers would love)
* Very much class oriented.(give you a feeling as if you are being taught in a classroom)
* Good humor.(one that i remember: "You are an object, get used to it." :))

Summary: great book!
Comment: Wow! This book help filled my knowledge gap in Java. Although I am a programmer analyst and has 1 year of experience. I still learn a lot from this book. I suggest this book for anyone who know java and want to review and fill in their knowledge gap.

Summary: Warning to Mac Users relying on CD of this book!!!
Comment: The book seems great for reading, but the nitty gritty of this book (practice exams, training) are all in .exe- which are windows extensions. I was expecting to find 2 types of files. Did I miss something in the description of this book that the CD only works on Windows?

NOTE TO AMAZON: Please put the requirements of the CD install in your description!!!! It isn't until you unseal the CD, load it up, that you see a Readme.txt file that states the System requirements are only for Windows. Frankly, my main purpose for buying this book was the for the training and practice exams.

So, if you have a Mac, this will not run unless you download something to allow .exe to run on Macs- which I find almost the opposite of what the Java language has been pushing- it runs on all platforms. Why does the author assume only Windows users will be needing to learn Java? Bad, Bad, Bad....

Unfortunately, I read a few chapters, did some highlighting before loading the CD. Therefore, I cannot return it. Hopefully, this review will spare some Mac users.
