Rating:  - Confused ramble though Oracle
The best thing that can be said about this book is it's a confused ramble though Oracle. The book tries to cover Java, PL/SQL and XML, and fails to cover any depth in any of these subjects.
Rating:  - From Stem to Stern
Some other reviewers have stated that this book is uneven in quality. I agree with that assessment but argue that is unavoidable. I cannot think of any one person who possesses the knowledge to write intelligently about all of this material in the depth this book has.

Rating: - Excellent Book.
This is an excellent book as it covers a lot of ground in one volume. If you work in a organisation that has Oracle as the engine for their web based applications, you must have this book.
Many books cover Java or XML or SQL and the like; but this is one of the few books that delves into HOW to put all of these together to make it work! As this book is released in newer additions, I shall be buying it as soon as it is available.
