Query: Bad index, no syntax, and hard to read. Look elsewhere

This book is too hard to read to be effective. The text is littered with words in bold, meant to point out Java keywords, statements, and filenames, but which actually distract the eye. The text has plenty of examples, but basic syntax and explanations of usage and parameters are just not there. I have looked in the index countless times for methods that I need explanations for and found most every time that I am referred to some random mention of the method, written in bold, buried in some paragraph somewhere where it doesn't seem to have any purpose. If I seriously need Java help for what I'm learning in my classes, I turn to another book.
