Spock is a very good testing library. This book can be considered to be a Bible for Spock testing.
This book will not only introduce one to Spock, but will also help get started writing sufficiently complex test cases with Spock.

I liked this book because of its topic: Spock.
Naturally is Spock not your swiss army knife for testing but you can use it to have a made in Asia edition of that knife. You can write unit tests out of the box, for integration and web tests you need a bit more tweaking and libraries but it is not much work.
I missed some topics on how to write extensions to Spock -- even if it is not related to testing a chapter (or appendix) would have been OK imho.

It's a bit too short to my taste, I'd love to see more practical examples, but since it's an early preview I'm not going to be too judgmental.

This book really helps to point out a badly-designed codebase. ;)

Not hard to understand. Good for review.
