Rating:  - nice read
From the introduction it seems to be reading a kind of "Make a million dollar in one week" book.
I've found the Head First style really funny and attractive.
For a newbie the book can be a really good introduction and the style help so much, but If you are an expert developer don't take the book as a complete Servlets or JSP guide. It's a nice riassunto for everyone that need to refresh their acknowledge but It don't cover the entire process of a real world work. Pretty usefull too for passing the SCWCD exam.
Rating:  - Worth every penny
This Book contains everything that you will ever want to know about Servlets JSP and custom Tag development. Its all in One shop for learning web development.
The features that i like about the book are :
1.) Depth of coverage for JSPs, JSTL, all JSTL tags and Custom Tags
2.) No loss of breadth and its coverage of good stuff like Filters and Listeners.
3.) Concise and practical examples of snippets of codes that just "Work".
4.) Good ( Quick and Dirty ) introduction to Struts. ( if you want to learn more buy Oreilly's Programming Jakarta Struts ( yea both big book and pocket reference ).
All in all worth every penny you'll spend. ( This is from a guy who rated Head First Design Patterns a 2 ).

Rating: - Superb
The book is very good. This book is for start up people who dont know anything about servelet and JSP. It a very very handy book to have. By the time you finish this book you will have substantial knowledge about servelets and JSP
Rating: - They've done it again
The Heads First series is an extraordinarily readable collection of computer instruction books. I hesitate to call them textbooks because are flippant and entertaining, but they are astoundingly thorough. Heads First Servlets and JSP makes a remarkably dry subject seem (at least while the book is open in front of you) fascinating. Be warned: Unless whoever you are reading the good parts out loud to is also a geek, they won't be nearly as amused as you are.
