Rating:  - Best Java book on the Market....
This book is the most user friendly book to teach Java. This is how I got started, and am now a full-on software developer for a fortune-500 company making a good living. I recommend this and other books in the HF series to anyone wanting to learn programming on their own.
Rating:  - Good intro to Java -- mediocre for Head First
I'll admit it... I'm a huge fan of the Head First series. This is the third I own and at least two others (currently unreleased) are on my to-buy list just waiting for their release. The style of Head First books in general is fantastic and helps things make sense right away. That being said, I was a bit disappointed in certain aspects of Head First Java. Make no mistake, I still heartily recommend it, but it was not as good as it could have been.

Rating: - Not bad for a text book
Hard to make learning Java fun but they do try. It is a fairly easy read with lots of pictures and alternative ways of getting the same point accross. Not a reference book on Java, it will teach you Java.
Rating: - Good Supplement for a Java course
Very good book to use as a supplement for a Java course.
Course texts need ppt slides and question banks and Case problems at the end of each chapter to supplement the text.
But for buying a book to learn Java - this is a good one.
Rating: - Great for beginners!
This book is for beginners but it assumes that you know the basics about computer programming, I mean, it won't teach you what is a program, what is code or those very basics things. If you have programmed in C, C++ or C# then this books could be slow for you but still useful but if you don't know about those languages or Object Oriented Programming then this book is great to learn OOP and JAVA, really good.
