Summary: Great learning tool
Review: This book is wonderful if you don't know much about java. It is well written and easy to follow. There are a few times where I got confused on a couple subjects but I usually figured it out by checking SUN's website and re-reading the material. I recommend this book to any aspiring J programmer.

Summary: excellent book
Review: this is a great book for anyone jumping from c++ to java.
after 2 semesters doing c++, i did not find it worthwhile to pay for java class so i bought the book. it was great, i read it straight through (like the author recommends) and by the time i was done i was able to transfer my c++ algorithms into Java code.
Java is now a piece of cake.
also recommended, "Core Java, Advanced" by Sun Microsystems.later!

Summary: What you need to start
Review: This is a very good Java book. It differs from a number of other books that wasting your time with loads of pages explaning basic stuff and avoid the real one. The code examples are helpful. I do recommend it for people with no experience with Java.

Review: To the person who reviewed this book so negatively and did not leave his email address (it just said "A Reader from USA), Let's just call him/her - LOIQ. Please don't believe LOIQ. This is just an excellent book. I've been programming for 10 years and this book is excellent especially for absolute beginners. Again, GREAT BOOK!
