Excellent Java book to clear concept, but not for newbies.
I have experience in programming Java and now decide to go certified. This is a very good Java book for not only the certification exam but also the one which helps you to get clear concept. I do feel this book help me quite a lot in the exam preparation. It serves as a very good review for the Java knowledges I have. The price of the book is also very nice. I can say that you get far more than you paid. One thing I would like to mention is this book probably a little bit tough for the newbies. If you are new to Java and do not have much OOP experience, I will not recommand you this one. Although most of comments here are negative, I still want to give this book a high rating.

Run Away -- Run Away
The result is that you can not determine whether or not you are indeed prepared. This book is only worth purchasing as a doorstop

There are numerous errors in the test areas. It will waste your time to use these materials; to speak much less of your money!.

This book is terrible

I decided to go against my instinct and not read amazon's reviews before purchasing the book. I have been working with Java for 4 years now and decided to finally get certified. It was a terrible decision.

There are so many errors in the testing sections of this book, that I will most likely have to pay more money and get another book just to straighten my mind out. Examples of this include things where the author suggests you choose 3 out 5 possible answers for a multiple choice question, and then only lists 2 correct answers in the solutions. Now granted this inhumane struggle is a great way to learn the langauge, but isn't that what I paid the author to do in the first place?

Do not waste your time on this or other passport books.
