Title: A great paperweight, but a mediocre introduction to Java.
Product review: The first 13 chapters offer a well-written introduction to the Java programming language. Unfortunately, there are more than 13 chapters left. It's as though the authors found themselves uncomfortably close to a deadline halfway through the book, and slapped the rest together with little pedagogical consideration. It has a terse 300 page reference that is occasionally useful
