The book contains multiple code sample errors, but which book doesn't... What really disturbed me are all these advices the author tries to give, although most of them I can't agree with at all and some of them I would even call 'bad practices' (many of his advices are also in contradiction with Josh Bloch's arguments). The repeated complaints about why Sun made certain decisions is also annoying and this attitude seems quite arrogant to me.

I'm sorry to say but, in my opinion, if you're an advanced Java programmer, this book won't take you to the next level nor will it provide you new insights :-( But read and decide yourself.
