How do you guys deal with the starting chapters especially when he talk about garbage collection, and technical stuffs in deep detail that probably only a computer science student will understand? 1 problem I often find is, he suddenly goes too in detail about things technically and got me lost. It makes me wonder if this is a begineer book or should I study more aspects of computer science first before coming back to this book.

Hi, I just spent money to buy the 4th editon of this book due to a friend recommendation after I have read Head First Java. But rather than find it easy, I find it really hard to read,

The font itself is well very big and ugly on paper (Georgia) and the style of writing...I don't know if it's just me but I find it hard to comprehend what he is trying to say. However my friend asked me to just bare with the book (he says it's very dry too). Since I have already bought the book, I decided to bare with it and force myself to like it but with no success so far, can anyone share their tips on how to enjoy this book well? The book can't be bad if people worldwide are rating it highly.

Coming from a python programming background.
