What do you think about this two:

all 3 books you asked about are terrible.
Sorry, but that's the long and short of it.
This is by far the best introductory text on Java: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjava2/
This one is also very good: http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Java-TM-Test-Driven-Development/dp/0131482394/sr=8-3/qid=1172383101/ref=sr_1_3/002-3459208-9687204?ie=UTF8&s=books
Anything else is IMO a waste of money and time if you seriously want to learn.

Head First Java, Second Edition
Comment:
This is a most stupid book Ive ever seen, but I like it. Less code, more stupid text.
