Rating:
Summary: A little bit dry, but good review
Review: It was a little bit boring working through the whole book, but I'm glad that I did. I failed the exam the first time, but past after buying this book.

Rating:
Summary: Good exam preparation
Review: This book by itself helped me to pass the exam the first time. It covers a lot of material so I went through all of the practice questions twice. I also found that the questions at the end of each chapter and the practice exam questions at the end of the book were more helpful than the CD.

Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive
Review: This book is very comprehensive and I couldn't have passed the CSIDS exam without it. The diagrams helped me to understand concepts that I had struggled with previously. Make sure you go through all of the practice questions in the last chapters at least once. I found the chapter questions to be much more helpful than the CD.
