Format:Paperback
I got 95% preparing just from this book and giving only it's mock exams. I think this says it all.
The book does not intend to be a primer for Java newbies.
It does what it says, it sharpens you for just the Java 1.5 exam. No more, no less.
The book not only provides you the study material, but also provides you with a study plan and tips for the actual exam.
You get a soft copy of the book on the CD which also has study material for the SCJD exam. Handy anytime for a quick reference.
You also get two mock exams, one comes with the book and the other is available after a free online registration. These are a bit tougher than the actual Sun exam. But like the authors say "the objective is to toughen you up for the main exam".

I studied this book on and off for a year or so and this morning achieved 90% in the exam. The book in my opinion is the best study guide to use for the SCJP exam, there are other books out there but this book provides the depth of knowledge required in order to not just pass the exam, but to achieve a good mark. There are some mistakes and ambiguity in language, but nonetheless this does not detract from the overall quality and focus of the book. The example exam questions at the end of each chapter and those available on the CD are tougher then those actually given in the SCJP exam.
Reading this book and taking the SCJP exam made me a more complete Java programmer and it will make you too.

Format:Paperback
I started to study for the 1.4 exam using the previous edition of this book. I found it pretty easy going and well written - coverage was comprehensive and straightforward as a C++ convertion turtorial. I was gaining a huge confidence in my knowledge.
I then decided it would be better to go for the Java 5 exam (can't be that much more to it...) and bought this book to cover all of the new features of Java 5 that were on the exam. I found the new chapters tough going - the chapters on Generics, new collection classes, I/O library, enums, localization and threading are not really suitable as tutorials - I kept having to refer to other books for more information. Having said that, it mentions everything you need to know from the syllabus, if perhaps in not enough detail in itself. The newer chapters also have quite a few errors and typos, which is a shame as it lets down the book a little.
Overall it's still a great book and would thoroughly recommend it. I passed first time with a score of 93%, so it can't be that bad!
