Rating: A friend recommended I look into Groovy; having had good experiences with The Pragmatic Programmers series previously, this title found its way to my bookshelf. As anticipated, it is well written and easy to read through. Normally I use tech books more as a reference than a start-to-finish read, but this book has been an exception. I appreciate the level of detail the author goes into around the Groovy concepts, such as Dynamic Typing or Closures, and how they relate to what a Java developer would be familiar with. Not so much detail to drone academic, but enough to answer the "What/Why/How". I'm not familiar enough with Groovy to comment on how comprehensive it is, but it appears to cover just about everything I was looking for.
