Excellent Resource! 
. Reading and understanding the content of this book, and the one written by 'Sierra and Bates', are the major contributing factors in getting me a 91% passing grade on the first attempt!.
Passed SCJP the first attempt. 
Be sure to suppliment this book with plenty of practice tests and you should do fine on the exam. This is an excellent study resource and I would recommend it to anyone pursuing their java programmer certification. Good Luck!.
The BEST book on non-j2ee java.
Obviously, this book can't cover everything but it gives a very thorough and in-depth introduction. I have read over a dozen books on the java and this by far the best one for learning the language in its entirety. If you can only have one book on java 2, make this the one you pick. Many other books on the subject waste tons of space with simple examples that aren't very informative. This book cuts through the nonsense and gives you all it can in its 700 pages. Great explanations, Great Code Samples, all around top notch.
