Review: I was working on a project, and used this book for understanding how different parts of the Java API work. Found it very helpful. I used the chapters on Collections classes, Reflection, Arrays, Memory and Constructors, and Interfaces as Types quite extensively.

It's not a complete book in and of itself. You will still need a Java Language reference book. This book is more of a tutorial. It's great for self-learning.

Review: The amount of mistakes and confusing abstraction combined with a awful writing style make this one of the worst computing books I've read. I actually only read it half-way though because it was making me naucious.
