• Stick with Hibernate in Action
  Hibernate in Action is a great book that I go back to again and again. It was very well written for a technical book.
  Java Persistence with Hibernate is disappointing. The first half adds very little to what is available in Hibernate in Action and the second part is half-baked. The authors should have waited for the specs to gel and written a book purely on implementing JPA with Hibernate. They should have left out the first part of the book and pointed people to Hibernate in Action.

• Look elsewhere, there are better options...
  I have over 5 years of JavaEE development experience, mostly with Struts/EJB2 apps and more recently with JSF/Seam/EJB3 apps.
  There is a lot of useful information in this book. This book covers a very interesting and complex topic (using Object/Relational Mapping in your persistence tier) but the book needs a lot of help. It is one of the most confusing Java books I've read and would only recommend you use it if your employer pays for it (i.e. don't buy it yourself!) Hopefully, ORM books like these... more info

• A boring book
  This is a boring book and hard to understand. If you want to learn Hibernate, don't buy it.

• A Massive Book for a Magnificent Framework
  Some of the reviews for this book are a little harsh.

  The book is written by the makers of Hibernate, and you can find an answer to pretty much every question you'll ever have explained in extreme detail, and in a very, very technical way.
  The book uses the Caveat Emptor application as a reference. You keep going back to that example,... more info
