Summary: An excellent book!
Comment: It helped me a lot! An excellent way to get SCJP! Thanks Amazon for the quick delivery!

Customer Rating:

Summary: Great prep tool
Comment: Great preperation tool. This material is advanced, and a little hard to get through. However, it does a great job of preparing you for the SCJP exam. The sample tests and summaries at the end of each chapter are very helpful as are the full exam samples.

Summary: Too much Time WAITING
Comment: The book is ok. But the time I wasted waiting for it to arrive here was terrible. A friend bought the same book 2 days after me and it arrived 3 weeks earlier than mine and we chose the same delivery method. I just don't know what happened but it took from the 13th of september till the 31st of october to arrive... terrible delivering service. Take care if you need it in the estimate delivery time and specially if you live in another country.

Summary: All it took for me to pass!
Comment: I took the SCJP once before and failed. I had prepared only with online resources. But after reading this book thoroughly, and taking all the practice exams, I retook SCJP and passed! I found this book's questions generally harder than the real SCJP exam, but it was great preperation. My only complaint about this book is the "Two minute" chapter summaries should be a little more concise.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Outstanding review of Java fundamentals
Comment: In addition to preparing for the SCJP exam, this is an excellent way for a rusty Java programmer who has been using other technologies to get their head wrapped around Java again. This book's content and presentation are both highly effective. The humor really lightens up the reading experience.

One strong suggestion for the authors is to include page numbers for each section of the "Two Minute" drills, providing a quick reference to that section's underlying discussion. I wasted a lot of time flipping back through the chapter trying to find/review the underlying (and often clever) example.
