Best Java beginners book?

[Energize]

Are there any beginner Java books that are considered the best?

The Oracle Academy Java 2 beginners book by Herbert Schildt that we were given in class seems to be completley **** for beginners.

This book seems to be rated the most highly on a lot of websites.

Teach yourself a proper programming language in 24 hours rather than a namby pamby one

That won't help me with my Java exam though.
