I read it at the start of my second year and I'd actually agree with that. The book is amazing and will definitely improve how you write code, but the examples are written by an experienced Java programmer and some of them are quite hard to understand for beginners.

If you do decide to read it, don't be afraid to stick to the topics that seem relevant and skip ahead here and there (as I did). It's a great book to come back to after some time has passed and the appendix/summaries at the end are very helpful.
