Negative Positive
Title: weak writing, worse thinking
Review: This is one of the first O'Reilly books I've been disappointed with. It's a bit hard to put a finger on exactly why this book leaves one dry, but I suppose I would say that the book simply does not communicate well with the reader. The writing style is average (at best), explanations are superficial, and the code examples are consistently unfocused. The author just does not strike me as a born writer. Unfortunately, there are not many books on this subject, but I for one look forward to the time when some better writers step up and explain EJB technology in a more consise and engaging manner.
