 If you want to pass SCJP5 exam get this book! December 20, 2008
If you are studying for the SCJP5 exam this book is essential.
It goes in to each exam objective in detail with lots of practice questions at the end of each chapter.
Using this book along with some really good mock exams then you will be in a very good position to passing the SCJP5 exam.
really good book September 4, 2008
this book is really good. I can recommend it. It is a fantastic preparation for the exam and even after the exam you can use it.
 good but could be lighter and more concise, please revise June 14, 2008

This a good book but not a great book. I passed the SCJP 5 exam after using this book and practicing using WhizzLabs mock exams which I would also recommend and found very necessary.
The book could be at least 100 pages lighter simply by not repeating the exercise questions in the answers section after each chapter. Cheesy attempts to lighten up the book with humour were just plain irritating, waste of paper and should be removed. The extra weight is not forgiven when you've lugged the book around in a laptop bag on a train. Less is definitely more. Having said that the end of chapter questions are very thought provoking and really do test your understanding. I would say these questions are generally harder than the exam but very good preparation.
There are two monster chapters (ch6 97 pages and ch7 114 pages) which really should be split up. These each took me over 5 hours to work through and I then had to go through them again after failing my first mock exam. The introductory sections on Generics was overdone and confusing and it would have been better to concentrate on the correct use and legal syntax rather than trying to justify and explain how they got added to the Java Language spec.
The mock exam that comes with the book is a pain to use. The screen size is too small and you end up spending too much time scrolling to read the code and possible answers. Having said that the questions are representative of the level in the exam.
With these caveats I would recommend the book and having looked at others, I suspect it is probably the best on the market at the current time.
Passed easily with this book May 19, 2008

Achieved score of over 90% in my SCJP exam using this book alone. Didn't even use the CD - found the book's content and practice questions sufficient. The book is extremely thorough and well written, even mildly amusing in places which helps when some of the topics are such heavy going. Highly recommend to anyone preparing for the SCJP exam - it's all you'll need!
It got me through!!! April 21, 2008
I seriously recommend this book. It depends on your experience how hard you will have to study it but I passed my exam today and that is really the point isn't it. I found the book easy going and the practise questions and practise exams on the CD were really helpful. I do think that you have to understand that reading won't be enough, you actually have to write programs and the more you write the better you will do.
