Rating: The author felt the need to 'rebalance' the reviews. I feel that need also. Read the errata before buying this book. I read a review on Amazon (check those reviews before purchasing) where the reviewer said that with some scissors and paste and a print out of the errata, this book is good. I find that rather amusing. Other than that, there's nothing in this book that you can't find out by reading articles on the web. This is one of the most consistently panned books. Most of the praise is lukewarm. If you want a good book, get Josh Bloch's "Effective Java".
