Summary: Worth Buying - But could be better
Review: There's a lot of good stuff in this book and it is well organized. The only problem is that it is missing a lot of new information and the associated website does not cover these issues. The book would be much better if it had addendums on the site. Luckily my experience covered the holes. Also, found some errors, but suprisingly, not that many.
Personally, I recommend this book, it's well worth it but should not be a sole source of study. Go to freecomptia.com for more recent test questions and seek other sites for supplemental information. Between these two sources, you should do fine.
The test provides 90 minutes, I took about 20, so the test is not that difficult. This book certainly made it easier.

Summary: Supplementary Books/Materials Needed¿
Review: This book alone is NOT recommended for people who are not from the IT industry.
While it does cover a broad range of area, depth is missing in certain areas.
Supplement it with another book.
About 20% of the exam questions I encountered are not covered by the book OR too detailed for a non-IT person. Good luck!!

Summary: Got Me Through The Test
Review: This is a great book to use if you want to pass the i-Net+ exam. After a week of studying this book along with the Exam Notes, I passed the test with an 87. All of the material that I saw on the test was adequately covered by this book. The practice test on the CD-ROM was so close to the questions on the test that I didn't see how Sybex was allowed to market it. Anyway, it got my my i-Net+ certification.

Summary: Not adequated for testing--a good start though.
Review: This is good reference or beginner book for the internet but you won't pass the exam by using only this book. There is a lot of stuff on the exam not covered in this book. My low rating is based on what the book is supposed to prepare you for and it does not fully prepare you. I does have a lot of helpful info though. Read additional books if you want to pass the exam.

Summary: Supplementary Books/Materials Needed?
Review: While this book is decent, it certainly should not be the only text you use to study for the exam. It gives a broad overview of the relevant topics in a fair amount of detail, but there are MANY things on the exam which are not even mentioned in this particular book. My advice is to supplement your studying with several other sources, including the Exam Cram and/or the Exam Prep book.

Summary: Several errors, disjunct presentation.
Review: Yes, I did check the errata on the website. And today, 2 weeks later, no word from the authors or technical editors. I'm really not impressed. And for the record, I passed W/O this book 846/900. For example, the PNG file format is not limited to 256 colors. In actuality, it supports up to 24bit color and an 8bit alpha channel. Or the fact that Spoofing was not covered in the book at all, nor even listed in the index, yet when I took the i-Net+ there were 3 questions about it. Now, aside from the numerous errors I found, this book is poorly organized. The information is not presented in a logical flow, but a scattered, haphazard manner which makes it extremely difficult for newbies. [In their defense, CompTIA doesn't really organize the domains for the i-Net very logically either.] You'd be better off using just internet resources to study for this exam:
