The book, that was used by EPAM company in Russian SPb office to prepare Java Core course students. Quiet good written book, and it helps to pass OCA/OCP Certification Exam (if you add to it Java SE8 topics).

[Miroslav Lesov · Rating 5 out of 5]

Always a good book to start your programming development. All is explained as good as possible, you learn why a certain thing is used and how to use it. It's worth to read as a book-to-start

[Vadim · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is quite interesting and easy to read, and initially I rated it higher. But after trying a couple of mock exams, it came out that not all topics are covered enough.
Particularly, these are RowSets, RandomAccessFile and some other rarely used things that can make tricky questions.

I think that Sierra's book and website are the best tools to prepare oneself to oracle java certifications. I just passed the associate exam and I'm getting ready to take the programmer exam.
