In your case, this book may not be the best choice, because it does not concentrate on (and often does not even mention) the differences between 1.4 and 5. You would be forced to go through a lot of stuff you already know from 1.4, instead of concentrating on what you need to learn.
In general terms, the Sierra and Bates book is also a Java 5 guide, not only a SCJP guide.
