good coverage, too much discussion, 2007-08-16, Rating: 3.
The book has very good coverage, my only complaint is that explanations are too long. I think the whole book can be condensed into 100-200 pages.
Not fun, 2007-04-06, Rating: 3.
I bought this book because it's the best-seller for JavaServer Faces according to Amazon and I don't like it that much. I've been reading a lot of Computer books lately, and a lot of them are surprisingly well written and fun to read. This one is not. The writing is less than stellar and it doesn't have the dorky humor that other computer books have.
On the plus side, I am learning a lot from this book and I don't have much to compare it to as far as other JSF references. It's the most up-to-date one when I bought it, which is important since it's still an evolving framework.

Very good book, its deep and explains very good, 2007-02-18, Rating: 5.
The book goes over all the stuff in JSF and explains in a very clear language exactly whats happening under the hood of JSF. I have also some other JSF books and this is by far the best.
The most comprehensive JSF coverage so far!, 2007-01-23, Rating: 5.
I really enjoyed reading this book. I have several JSF books, and I feel that most of them were rushed to the market. This one is an exception. The coverage is very comprehensive (the book is written by the spec lead), JSF 1.2 is extensively discussed. The book covers multiple open-source "sub-frameworks" for JSF such as Shale and Facelets as well as various component libraries.
JSF is a relatively complex framework, and one does need a good reference to be able to master it. I think this book is it.

JavaServer Faces is the FUTURE, 2007-01-17, Rating: 5.
This book is great! It starts out simple but moves at a brisk pace that helps keep you interested. I'd definately recommend this to anybody interested in JSF or for someone who is looking for a good MVC framework for Java. If you're a Struts developer and want to make the shift to Java's standard MVC framework than BUY THIS BOOK!
