Owned by many. Read by none.
Head First Design Patterns is much more approachable.

Haha true I had the book since 2018, read not a page of it. Ended up reading head first design and watched lectures based on Go4 content.

I was just going to leave a comment about that! I haven't read this one, but I thought Head First was great.
