Rating: Summary: Not for CISA, at least Review: This book came last year, it does not cover the CISA objectives. Too verbose and lot of filler. If you need something easy, quick and direct, there are better resources like "CISA Study Guide in EasyFAQs"
Rating: Summary: Not Worth The Time Review: This book is not worth the time it takes to read. I was optimistic when I purchased the book based on the positive experience of other titles by the publisher. However, this book is poorly written. It appears rushed and does not spend the time needed to explain/expand key ideas/concepts. There isn't a single graphic depiction in the entire book which is dedicated to IS audit. There are numerous typos and the writing style can get monotonous and difficult. I generally find books on IT and audit as interesting but this one put me to sleep every time. The material was written in such an uninteresting and boring manner that my mind constantly wandered to other topics. The book definitely did not keep my interest. I generally keep these exam review books as reference guides in my jobs. This one is going back on re-sale - assuming someone buys it after reading these reviews. Very disappointing.
