Stay away from this book. It is the worst book that I have ever read. The authors use abstract terms to explain the abstract terms, making it extremely difficult for the readers to understand. If you already know the stuff, you probably don’t need this book. If you don’t, then reading it will not help at all!From an MSC and MCSE (Win2K track).

I felt the information in this book was extremely well written. It didn’t go in depth into all 10 domains but it was enough to familiarize anyone with a little information that they would find extremely helpful. Is it enough by itself to pass the CISSP exam, I’d say “NOT” and I’ve been in the business for over 10 years. I haven’t been working with all 10 domains so I’d expected this book to help me where I was lacking. It did help but was it enough to pass my exam. . . . . I’ll let you know in 14 days.

I already have my CISSP and I purchased this book for the ISSEP content. I think the writing is miserable. It looks like the author simply copied and pasted contents from the referenced government documents. Yes, the information is there. No, it is not a “fun” read like Shon Harris’ book. Wait for the third edition of Shon’s book – I’m sure it will be much better.

I have been studying several books for the CISSP exam and this is the first study guide I have purchased and read. I was very disappointed in the amount of information in this book when the actual exam covers so much material. I feel I have a more extensive understanding of the subjects from my months of studying many other books – I was hoping this book would take me even further, but it did not.

This may be a great reference, but I’ve noticed six typos by page five – they are a mounting distraction. Perhaps the information content is credible, but the horrid presentation makes the authors appear untrustworthy.
