Query: Save your money - not recommended

I just got this book and wasted [price]. I only has 142 pages on RMI and the remainder is rehashed code to build a chat application, EJB example, etc. He spends more time on describing his designs than on RMI.I finished the book the first day I got it. Although, I skipped the long summaries after every chapter. If you subtract the 31 pages of introduction to client/server architecture, the redundant "tips" and, the summaries this "book" will come in under 100 pages.The few interesting points he makes, he refers later chapters for the details and some of his descriptions are so convoluted that I had to go back to my own code to make sure that I knew what was happening. This is not a book for beginners. You should only read it if you fully understand RMI and then why buy. There are better descriptions of RMI on the web.
