Summary: Definitive but Could be more Functional
Comment: A great book, but I would've preferred "how to's" that covered common JavaScript uses, like rollovers. A little "cookbook" information would truly make this the "definitive" guide. Buy it anyway. O'Reilly books are extremely well-written. The best, in fact. Many computer books look like a bunch of technical gobbledygook when you open them up. O'Reilly books read like BOOKS.

Summary: My companion - I don't go to work without it!
Comment: One of the best in my library. Quick read. Concise, no lame jokes or philosophical episodes, plenty of practical examples. If you want to build a site which is sure to be compatible with both IE and Netscape, this book keeps you out of the ditches. The first half is a guide and the last is a concise reference. The index is great. I never fail to find what I'm looking for.

Summary: Excellent, in-depth and easy to understand
Comment: This is the most concise and focused book on JavaScript. I had tried two other highly recommended books prior to this one, and both left me with many unanswered questions and an image of JavaScript of being an extremely awkward and unmanageable language. This book made everything crystal-clear. There are practically no aspects of the language not revealed in the book. After reading it you will have a structured and in-depth understanding of JavaScript, including its most subtle topics. Examples are short and very helpful. Do not hesitate to buy it. I wished there was the new revision of the book to cover JavaScript 1.4.

Summary: Not a fun read
Comment: The book is poorly laid out, and the examples are not explained thoroughly. I already knew Java, so I was able to pick up JavaScript without a large struggle, but if I hadn't known Java, I would have quit reading the book about 10 pages in. One plus is the extensive reference section (200 pages).

Summary: average
Comment: This book is not good and yet it is not bad. I therefore conclude that it must be in between.
