Title: Do not waste your money
Review: Others have said it all. Flawed; just plain flawed. Pattern implementations that are wrong (some of which undo the value of the pattern itself!) inconsistent explanations of the patterns, poor code examples and more.An attempt to "port" GoF but the author shows that he really doesn't fully understand and appreciate the originals, nor Java and what it offers, to port properly and put it all in the Java context.The value you can get out of this is to look at all those who rate the book highly and put them on your hiring blacklist.
