Summary: Pretty Good Book.
Review: I really felt this book a good one. Pretty interesting too by using example like Titan Ship Booking he really makes it simple to understand too. Also the author participates in many open source projects too, one which i recently came to know is the EJBoss. He is indeed a very good author.

Summary: The best
Review: It is an excellent book. It has helped me a lot and also saved my time. There is no other resource that describes the EJB concepts in such an elegant and deep manner. I almost have all EJB materials ( books and articles ), but this one is a great exception. I like its way for explaining "why" more than "how", where EJB is based more on concept rather than coding. This book has a clear presentation of many concepts in EJB programming as well. The part of "Design Strategies" presents so valuable design issues for architects and developers to clarify understanding of EJB-based applications. I hope the author expands that part in next release. I always refer this book to my fellows and get appreciated feedback from them. Finally, thanks to the author

Summary: great for a solid understanding of EJBs
Review: I am currently doing EJB development using the BEA server and have found this book a necessity. He does a good job of tackling the different types of EJBs in a step by step approach, having each chapter and example build on top of the other. I found the explanations of the examples through and understandable. The second and third chapters are difficult to get thru, since they are not so hands on, but that understanding helped me in acquiring the better understanding that more questioning (or even more performance driven) engineers will want.

Summary: A good book to started on EJB
Review: I just wanted to say that I found this to be good book on Enterprise Java Beans (EJB). I am currently using this book to write a few applications and found it to be useful. This is definitely not a place for JDBC reference. I don't understand why people are complaining about this book not covering JDBC. The author covers the fundamental concepts of EJBs very much without getting bogged down with proprietary information. I definitely recommend this book. I only thing I regret is the lack of a CD rom with the code examples. Right now, I am having to type all the code.

Summary: Best Book to explain EJB
Review: I read this book and the other 3 available at the time and a ton of other material while preparing a class on EJB. I really liked and would recommend this one to explain EJB concepts and examples. (the others weren't bad either)

Summary: weak writing, worse thinking
Review: This is one of the first O'Reilly books I've been disappointed with. It's a bit hard to put a finger on exactly why this book leaves one dry, but I suppose I would say that the book simply does not communicate well with the reader. The writing style is average (at best), explanations are superficial, and the code examples are consistently unfocused. The author just does not strike me as a born writer. Unfortunately, there are not many books on this subject, but I for one look forward to the time when some better writers step up and explain EJB technology in a more consise and engaging manner.

Summary: Save your money
Review: If you really want to "MASTER" EJB then buy 'Mastering Enterprise JavaBeans' by Ed Roman. Its a lot better with complete REAL world examples (there are 13 commercial level beans included with the book). The O'Reilly book does not explain the concepts clearly and is also lacking in examples. Ed Romans' book is the best book on EJB you can find on the market and is truely a masterpiece. If you are going to uy just one EJB book I would recomment Ed Roman's book. It also covers advanced topics like RMI over IIOP...
