It's a nice book, but its topics are not organized well, and it lacks lots of the topics that an "Absolute" beginner may want to know about. Some parts also lack decent explanations. I liked the most the chapter about Garbage Collection, it is very informative, thank you.

Average book for Java programmers. It lacks several good practices.

This is a very good book for simple coding, to advanced. It teaches very well, would recommend to any coder in a heart-beat.
