Howdy -- I can answer that one
The book is similar to our SCJP book in that yes, it does cover *everything* (well, *virtually* everything) that is on the exam. But... the style if drastically different! The format of this book is in the Head First series, and it is not for everyone. So
you should check out some examples to be sure you know what you're in for
Head First
EJB is part of the 'brain-friendly" series which means the format is designed to provide the learning experience in the way that your *brain* works, rather than the way that text books are generally produced (in a text-heavy way that is not what most brains learn best with). Again, it's not for everyone. But if you're willing to try something different, and you like visuals (they're on nearly every page), you might really enjoy it and you'll *definitely* learn from it!
cheers,
