This is still my favourite Java book, it hits the sweet spot of entertaining and teaching the reader at the same time. I liked Head First Java but this book just feels more substantial and I feel I learned more from it. Unfortunately it is a bit dated now as Java has changed substantially since it was written. I would still recommend it in conjunction with a more current text.
