On Amazon's site, five people have commented on it. They all found the book to be bad to mediocre.

It's no guarantee that the book is indeed bad, but I guess I would get myself something else for those $80,-.

You must be searching for a java book, maybe you should tryPrentice Hall - Objects First with Java A Practical Introduction Using BlueJIm using it, its a decent book, it teaches using BlueJ, a kind of interface that simplifies Java a little bit.

No believe me the book is bad! The only reason I asked is I am in a university class that uses those two books for there course. The author messed up on HelloWorld.java with 4 errors at compile time! How can anyone be that stupid since they are the ones who are supposed to be teaching me the fundamentals of Java. Anyhow I just wanted other people's thoughts about the books.

Thanks again for your input.
