Excellent story hampered by dense writing.

A decent story, clumsily written.

Mostly fun to read, and mostly non-cringe-inducing from a technical perspective, but the writing style is just not my thing. By the end, the dialog was just grating.

I am not a computer scientist or even software engineer, but I program quite a bit for my day job. This book had a little useful information to me (mostly in the first few chapters), but I just couldn't relate to the rest. I suggest you skip this unless you're a professional Java developer.

Death by footnote... an otherwise interesting read made rather unpleasant by the constant interruptions.
