This book is insufficient for SCJP 5.0 exam
This book lacks detail information on specific chapters, like for example generics, where the reader will have to do his/her own research to find them out, otherwise he/she will have trouble with the SCJP 5.0 exam. In addition to the above, this book provides wrong information about some Java APIs, like for example the SortedMap interface. Lastly, the mock exams included in the CD, are far too easy, compared with the actual exam.
