I just felt the strong urge to write a review. I usually don't write reviews. My opinion about this book is either you will love it a lot or hate it to the core. I hated it. Their writing style is not conventional. So please go to a book store and read a few pages and see if you like this style of writing. Even though when I first read, I thought I liked it, I realized I don't like this style of writing for a technical book

However, I didn't expect it to be like a history book for 13 year-old school kids, desperately trying to try to make the subject "interesting". Hardly any paragraphs over 100 words lest the audience's attention span be exceeded. If I'd wanted a comedy book, I'd have bought one. The only way that it could have been worse would have been to make it a "pop-up" book. For me this is a book for people that have not acquired the skill of reading by regularly reading journals, magazines and books.

1.0 out of 5 stars Childish, obtuse, and 10x longer than it needed to be., August 10, 2005

This book contains so many comics, cartoonish diagrams, and lame jokes it's impossible to learn from it efficiently.

The highly acclaimed "Design Patterns" by Gamma et al is only half as long and three times more informative.

I suppose I would still recommend Head First to someone who was taking a programming course involuntarily and would rather be watching MTV, but not to someone with an actual need for knowledge in the subject.
