5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference for the JVM
If you're writing a Java compiler or Java Virtual Machine, this book is a must-have. It's also great for the serious Java programmer who is interested in the "guts" of how Java works. But if you want a tutorial on the JVM, you'll be better served by another book. Before you buy this book, you should also know that the on-line version is freely available.

pretty bad
the authors simply don't know how to present their stuff in an orderly fashion. looks like a rushed job. go look at John Gough's "Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime", which treats a similar topic, and you see the difference. or if you prefer a formal style, look at "Java and the Java Virtual Machine: Definition, Verification, Validation".

About Inner classes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Java™ Virtual Machine Specification, The (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I think that Inner classes attribute is not very clear on the book. Say more about super and inner classes

Know Thy JVM,
This review is from: Java™ Virtual Machine Specification, The (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
the pace is a little stilted, and the plot is quite worn-out, but I love the wildly surrealistic sections...
