Title: Computer Systems Organization and Architecture Publisher: Addison Wesley Authors: John D. Carpinelli Rating: 1/5  I was forced to buy this book for my Architecture class. I really regret wasting my money on it. In short, the book [stinks]. It assumes too many things. It does not do a very good job explaining some important pieces of information. For the most part, the student will spend the whole time trying to make sense out of what the author is saying. It is one of these "should've..could've" books!If you are looking for an architecture book, I wouldn't recommend this one.

Title: Thinking in Java (3rd Edition) Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Authors: Bruce Eckel Rating: 1/5 I was forced to buy this book for a college course I'm taking on Java. The book is long winded in the extreme at more than 1,000 pages (not a good thing). The writing style is chatty to the point of sounding like the entire thing was done by dictation. Lots of unhelpful comparisons are provided along the way to Smalltalk, C++, and even FORTRAN. Lots of long dull example programs aren't even worth skimming. A typical example shows every possible combination of scalar type promotion. Not dull enough? Well how about the one which exercises every single operator on every single scalar type. You get the idea The sad part is that I have personally attended Bruce Eckels one and two-day workshops at Software Development Conference and found him to be a concise and coherent speaker in real life.

Title: Mastering Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd Edition Publisher: Wiley Authors: Ed Roman, Rima Patel Sriganesh, Gerald Brose Rating: 5/5 This is the best java book of any kind I have read. Like java itself, its construction was subject to rigorous community review. Mr. Roman has a talent for expressing highly complex and rapidly changing concepts in a very digestible manner. If you are in any way involved in the development of EJBs, you should strongly consider buying this book.
