New to Java-Need book that explains OOP concepts

Hi-

This as a great forum!

I have been programming in VB for a while and now I'm trying to learn Java. Can someone please tell me which book is best for learning concepts like objects, classes, visibility etc; Most of the books I have seen go too fast or do not cover enough detail. I would like to find something that has lots of examples (diagrams are nice) and covers OOP thoroughly.

Thanks!

Ken

The "Head First" books might be a good, gentle intro:

Kathy Sierra is a good, smart person. The Web is a poorer place now that her blog has been silenced.
