Rating: 5 stars
Summary: About Inner classes
Review: I think that Inner classes attribute is not very clear on the book. Say more about super and inner classes

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent reference for the JVM
Review: If you're writing a Java compiler or Java Virtual Machine, this book is a must-have. It's also great for the serious Java programmer who is interested in the "guts" of how Java works. But if you want a tutorial on the JVM, you'll be better served by another book. Before you buy this book, you should also know that the on-line version is freely available.

Summary: pretty bad
Review: the authors simply don't know how to present their stuff in an orderly fashion. looks like a rushed job.

go look at John Gough's "Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime", which treats a similar topic, and you see the difference. or if you prefer a formal style, look at "Java and the Java Virtual Machine: Definition, Verification, Validation".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Know Thy JVM
Review: the pace is a little stilted, and the plot is quite worn-out, but I love the wildly surrealistic sections...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Be careful of the copyright and license agreement!
Review: This book has a very unusual copyright notice. By using the information in this book, you implicitly enter into an agreement with Sun microsystems where any clean room Java implementations you write, from scratch, have to be submitted to Sun for conformance testing. I did not discover this until years after I bought the book. This kind of a "contract-by-fait-accompli" is illegal and unenforceable, but it may still be a pain to deal with. I suggest the Meyer and Downing book instead, since it is unencumbered.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Be careful of the copyright and license agreement!
Review: This book is only for a serioud reader. Can be used as a reference for a compiler designer, a machine designer. But The book is not well organized in its contents. So give special care while reading it. I feel this is a best book for core information.
