Summary: I would give a 5 stars...
Review: After passed ACRC exam on the first shot, I would give this book a 5 stars if there were not so many errors. It covers right topics but there are just too many errors everywhere. I agree that it seems no editor at all and they just cut-and-paste from CCO (There are places they even pasted to the wrong location!) It's really painful to read this book especially at first time. First, you need to GUESS what it's trying to say. Then you have to VERIFY whether it says is correct or not.This is what they say at the preface of the book: "...Each book is crafted with care and precision..." But it doesn't seem true to me!

Summary: A half of ingridient you must have in order to pass
Review: As i have advised many CCNP-tobe, you'll need both thing : 1) Cisco Press Study Guide ( this book for ACRC ) 2) Cisco ACRC exam guide ( for brushing and prepare you in the coming days of your testing experience :). Use this study guide for your replacement of ACRC traning course. Good luck, ( Scored 884, in 1 hour, though i thought i failed ).

Summary: A good revision book, an essential reference book.....
Review: I believe this is the best Cisco book on the market. It is readable, easy to understand and well written. The chapters follow on from one another while at the same time it is easy to go in and read and understand a specific chapter. I have read about OSPF, for example, in a number of books. This book provides the best explanation and examples. ACRC is the first exam I plan to sit and this book has given me a great deal of confidence. The only down point is that the tests at the end of each chapter are good, but in short supply. I would consider purchasing another test book as well as this, like the Syngress Practice Exams one which covers all CCNP exams.

Summary: Good concepts, poor implementation
Review: The concepts of this book are great - it explains the steps the router takes to accomplish a task. Unfortunately, the implementation isn't what I expected. Perfect example is setting up NAT. This book explains everything about how nat works, what it does and how it does it, but it doesn't give the OS commands to implement it! For the price, I would think that could be included.

Summary: very much lacking
Review: This book could have been much, much more than it ended up. I bought it without having read any kind of review and I definitely regret it. After having read a far superior book on ACRC (Semester Five Companion Guide), I have to say that this book lacks too much in detail for the price. There are numerous errors (which you can view errata on the Cisco Press web site, it's massive) in this book as well that can confuse the reader tremendously. I only buy Cisco Press books, but had this been my first, I may have reconsidered. Mark McGregor did a much better job writing the Academy curriculum.

Summary: Best Route for success
Review: This Book Follows the official course chapter for chapter, but adds more detail than the course material. There is no better way to learn the curricullum (except in conjuction with hands-on). The typos are relatively minor and there are no grossly misleading errors. The only element it lacks is more comprehensive end of chapter quizzes to prepare for the exam. A good supplement is the ACRC Exam Certification Guide by Cisco Press. For success on the exam and in your career, this book is a great asset.

Summary: ACRC Test Bible
Review: This is the best book for preparing ACRC test. At least 75% of test question you can find exactly printed in this book. Highly recommanded.

Summary: Why Read Anything Else?
Review: This will be a short review--I assure you. If you are serious about achieving CCNP status, this is the book to read after completing your CCNA (for that I recommend Tod Lammle's book).
