Rating: Summary: I Passed. - - This book is a keeper! Review: I sat for the CISSP and passed. I used two other books in addition to this one. (The CISSP Prep Guide: ISBN:0-471-41456-9 & Secured Computing CISSP Study Guide: ISBN: 1-55212-889-X) The author, Shon Harris, is truly a talented teacher. Her humor and practical examples make this my favorite of the three, in a sense enjoyable to read. With most study guides, I sell them after I'm done with the test. Not with this one! The quality and content of this book will provide me with an excellent reference for years to come. Studying all the material you can get your hands on is always a good idea. However, I likely could have just purchased this single book, called upon my years of hands on experience and sat for the exam.The only VERY minor negative I have is the included CD ROM simulated test software. It seems to have left the developer's desk "half baked" as it has errors in it. The test is very challenging. I'm glad that it is. It is not a test for "paper chasers". You must understand and practice your profession. Buy this book. You will not be dissapointed!
Rating: Summary: This is Junk Review: Dont buy this book,
I will be running out to buy the Krutz CISSP Exam Prep book ASAP!
Let's just say that after the first three chapters Ms. Harris's book, it became real obvious that she felt more need trying to push her agendas. Most authors have the good judgement to stay neutral using his/hers he/shes.... NOT Shon. It is quit annoying.
It get's two stars. One for her ability to cut and paste information that is freely available on the internet. The second because she uses some funny illustations.

Rating: Summary: Excellent prep + great reference book Review: This book was part of the material I used to prepare for the CISSP exam. I recommend this book to anyone interested in an "all-in-one" book, it covers the ten domains and has enough detail to achieve basic understandig of the concepts of the topics covered, in case some of the these are new to you.
I use this book as a desk side reference, I find to to be complete and written in a very esay to read way, specially for the amount of information covered.
