Title: Certainly not for beginners in OOP
Review: This book is a college textbook for my data structures java class. I was not new to programing at the start of my course, however I was new to OOP. This book does a horrible job of explaining the concept of OOP which, in my opinion, is difficult to grasp at first. The information in this book is very dense. Complex concepts are only given an explanation that is a page or two long (ex: Binary search trees). The examples aren't horrible, but they lack ample documentation. Now that I fully understand the concepts (thanks to the internet) this book makes an alright reference. Overall, if you already know Java or C++ or a similar OO language, this book is probably exactly what you need to learn how to store your data in Java, but if you don't know what OOP is, look elsewhere.
