Mastering Java 2

by John Zukowski

Review: This book is, by far, the thickest book I own at exactly 3 inches. It even surpasses my "GTE Everything Pages" phonebook! It truly could have been separated into 3 books. Had it been 3 separate books, I would have only purchased Part III, the advanced section. Currently, it is collecting dust on my bookshelf. Perhaps the mammoth book could be used as a makeshift bulletproof vest or boat anchor.

Genetic Algorithms in C++

by Scott Robert Ladd

Review: I found this book to be a disappointment. It was hard to follow and lacked explanations in some areas. Too much space was spent on random number theory. Don't let the title mislead you; the source code requires C++ with a visual framework (OWL or MFC). I've seen better; skip this one.
