• Excellent Book I wish i had it 10 yrs ago.
  This is excellent book, i really wish i had this book 10 yrs ago, excellent verbiage and great concepts.

• Excellent coverage of generics
  The authors provide detailed examples of capabilities provided by Generics. There are plenty of examples to illustrate various concepts. And many more examples which put them all together to show how they can be used to write full fledged OOPrograms. Its admirable how a non-trivial topic like Generics has been explained in a simple and succinct style. The collections coverage is good, but not as great as the Generics coverage.

• Excellent Book on Generics and Collections
  This a very good book on Collections and Generics. It is very readable and very well laid out and organized. Besides treating Generics thoroughly it also treats threadsafe collections very well too.
  For these reasons I highly recommend this book.

• Average, Nothing Exciting... not much more than its online alternative...
  It's a decent reference and a great read to go over generics and the collections framework. But don't get me wrong, it's nothing you can't get from just reading the Sun-provided API documentation or tutorials covering the topics.
  It's comprehensive, sure... but the examples lean to near overkill on each topic in some areas. In other areas, there just isn't enough information or example code to really drive home the ideas.
  It's average and worth the read. Not worth keeping around, though. It's one... more info
