Query: great read

if you have no sense of humor and like to over complicate everything to make yourself look smarter, you probably won't enjoy this book. I can't believe some of the negative reviews out here... they're saying the book is bad because jokes distracted them?!I've been developing sophisticated Java apps for over 6 years and I think the sequence of Java topics are presented in the best order i've ever seen. You'll be coding in minutes and be able to teach to others what you've read. Eben Hewitt cuts through the B.S.Everyone learns things differently; I like straight answers... comparisions to other more familiar concepts and code examples. This book uses all of those techniques.... along with some funny blurbs that helped me remember concepts more than they "distracted" me. I fall asleep reading most java books... this one is much better than most in that respect. I'd recommend it to all beginners and most intermediate folks. I will definitely buy More Java Garage if/when it comes out.
