Negative Positive
Title: A ton of fun...
Review: I have the Head First Design Patterns book and love it. This is every bit the equal on the Java side (I have the 2nd Edition which covers Java 5.0). The fact that so many people have reviewed the book says it all. I like the casual, playful format, dialog and visuals.Beyond the addition of the new Java 5.0 features (and dropping of some outdated features of earlier versions) it is still the same innovative "Head First" format. If you are learning Java or want to become more familiar with Java 5.0, I can guarantee you will not find a more enjoyable book to learn from.
