I missed that this was for a xmas present. Thinking about it, the "Head First" series of books are pretty good for learning fast. They come with a variety of different puzzles and quizzes to test you on each chapter and are written in an unconventional visual way to make it easier to absorb the information.

I think like any technical book series, the quality of the books in the series will vary by the author, and the series itself is more about how the information is presented; so each book may be relatively better or worse than the others. I've only read one and a half of these myself (Design Patterns, and something analysis).
