Nothing more or less than it should be

In the first chapter I learned more than I could scrape together for free from the Internet. For me that means the book is worth its money. The fourth star I give because the book is well written and good to read. The fifth star is for the attractiveness of the book.
As most programming books there are quite a number of lengthy code fragments. Although in this book, new code fragments are given as extentions to previous fragments where possible.
I could take away the fifth star because the book doesn't go very deep into bi-directional reflexive associations in Hibernate. However, so far I haven't seen a good discussion on that subject anywhere. On many other subjects, this book at least hints or points in the direction of further learning which makes it a very useful book.
