Review title: A superior book that could have been so much better.
Product review: This is definitely a superior book. However, it could have been so much better -- if the author had been able to explain his thoughts clearly and concisely, leaving his sample code to validate the reader's understanding. Instead, the sample programs are the basis of the book. The reader should be prepared to supplement most pages of this book with Sun's documentation (which too often has needed descriptions of not only the methods, but also of the class concepts).
