Summary: Worth your money
Comment: I was disappointed by Tate's "Bitter Java". But "Bitter EJB" is totally different story.
I would strongly suggest everyone read it also get "Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and
Development". These too books compensate each other very well. Both of them obviously
favor JDO over Entity Bean. Is JDO the future? still unsure:-)

Summary: Not for the beginner
Comment: This is definitely a book for the advanced Java programmer looking to refine his understanding of the pitfalls of EJB, and more generally J2EE, development. I was tough on Bitter Java because of it's technical editing. This book is decidedly better in that department but I can't give it all five stars because the difference in tone between the chapters and between the authors is noticeable and somewhat distracting. In addition the anecdotes about white water remain and I think they are unnecessary. That being said, if you are a J2EE programmer, this is a required book.

Summary: Required Reading
Comment: If you are a Java/J2EE developer, reading this book will save you hundreds of wasted hours.
There are plenty of books on J2EE design patterns and best practices.
Bruce Tate goes well beyond these discussions and outlines the effectiveness of these strategies, antipatterns, and above all: alternatives.
Simply put, this is the only book that puts J2EE into perspective.
Sales/Marketing have convinced developers that EJB is the "golden hammer" for enterprise solutions.
This book will enlighten you to creating effective J2EE applications without falling victim to market hype.
It is my personal opinion that Bruce Tate is the most effective technical writer since Richard Stevens.
The writing is clear and to the concise, every page directly addressing common roadblocks in EJB development.
For readers with a solid understanding of J2EE principles, this book will help you navigate around common pitfalls and outline effective solutions.
For less experienced readers, it will help you plan effectively.
After reading a dozen J2EE books, Bitter EJB stands tall as "required reading".
