Title: Too much emphasis on "fun" examples were lacking in detail
Review: I found this book to be lacking in examples to the point of being nearly useless as a reference item due to all the "fun" inserted ad nauseum. It seemed like this book was written for people over 50 who know next to nothing about computers or programming. This book is well written overall but the target audience is clearly not the serious student. Get this book to learn Java basics casually but if you are in a college class this is not your book.
Is the review positive or negative?
