Review title: A decent book but not appropriate for beginners
Product review: While Eckel is certainly an expert in the realm of Java programming this book is certainly not appropriate for beginners to the Java language. I happen to agree with another reviewer that commented that the book requires a BS in Computer Science in order to read it. I teach Java at the college level and found the book to be too complex and tied up with too many details for anyone who wants to be a true student of beginning Java programming. The book is nice overall but at times difficult to read and follow.
