3.0 out of 5 stars Can it Be anymore Boring, October 17, 2003

Jon Bailey (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CCNP(TM) Support Study Guide (Exam 640-506) (Hardcover)

This book is so incredibly boring and that is coming from a person who eats up technical books, i found the chapters on appletalk extremly hard to follow! i would not use this book as your only source to study from, if you are depending on this book to pass the test, be prepared to take it again, cause it just doesn't cover the bases correctly. I recommend the Cisco press books covers the material without the flood of typos. After reading this book i really can't say i learned anything, definatly not worth the 50 bucks i paid for it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Material too outdated, January 6, 2001

This would have been a better book if the technical editors did a better job at catching outdated material, and technical errors.

I picked this book up about a week ago for the new Support exam, and it's been a great help. It's a big book, and every page I've read thus far(almost all of them!) has had a ton of pertinent and useful information on them. Kudos to the authors on this one!
