Overall: Old but still a relevant book.
Contains many good points, and good points are always worth repeating. Not a very deep book, but serves well as a good bedtime read and as a source for inspiration. Too cheap to miss out on - also for non-Java programmers.

Let me first say, I agree with much of the opinions printed in this book. However, I agree with this review. I don't quite understand why this book has become so popular. It is way too superficial to really teach anyone anything in my opinion.
I think the biggest problem about this book is, that it is so brief, that you only understand what the authors talk about, if you already know it - in which case reading it is a waste of time. If you don't, you are pretty much lost because the descriptions are too short to teach a beginner enough about the concepts introduced.
