Awesome work. Must get for JSP/Servlets 
This is something which amazes me. It was just two days since I have been owning this book and in this two days I was able to finish first 5 chapters. It's like reading a story book. i love this book very much. There have been times when I wondered if I would master J2EE concepts. But now, I feel that I can go ahead for furthur advanced topics with the basics that I learned from this book.
Hat's off to Head First series.
I would strongly recommend this book to anyone having a fair knowledge on Java. .
Can't put it down
The style of writing is really good, because its like having a conversation with a bunch of guys and gals with a cuppa :) in hand. The authors are really skilled in terms of subject presentation and focusing on the core topics.
It's OK 
The real issue is that, like all exam prep books, this book doesn't help much with creating real world applications or go into tremendous depth. The subtitle of the book is "Passing the Sun certified Web Component Developer Exam" and it would be helpful for that. I would only recommend this book to those that want to study for the aforementioned exam, but not for those who want to really learn JSP and servlets.
