Readable, Disgestible,

This review is from: Mike Meyers' CISSP(R) Certification Passport (Paperback)
The CISSP strikes terror for some, since it is not an easy exam to prepare for. I picked up this book because of its portability (I travel so I need something light to carry around), not expecting anything substantial to be inside, only pointers to help me remember some of the material I have already covered. Instead, I found this book to be a gem, a book full of concise material written in style that is uncluttered, presented in a format that is structured. Plus, the book offers online questions for practice. Besides the occasional typo or two, the only fault I can criticize about the book is its Q&A section--it seemed a little too simple for a professional exam.Overall, I would recommend this book as a good first book to use, to quickly gain as much grasp of the security concepts in as little time as possible, and then slowly graduate to the more substantial offerings from QUE or Wiley.

This review is from: Mike Meyers' CISSP(R) Certification Passport (Paperback)
/* DisclaimerThe CISSP is a *very* tough exam to write a review book for. It is quite correctly described as "a mile wide and an inch deep". Therefore do NOT expect this book to cover everything that you will encounter on the exam, and certainly don't get angry when you take the test and there are things not covered in this book. */ So the material .... I found the chapters to be well laid out and direct. There was a lot of information crammed into a very small book, which made it ideal for me as a "last week" review. I took notes on every chapter and picked up quite a few little nuggets of information that I hadn't seen anywhere else. Of course this was my only "exam" book. Everything else I used to prepare was actually a book on a given subject (ie Incident Response, Network Intrusion Detection, etc.) so I can't really say how it stacks up against other prep books. So overall it's definitely worth the money since it's cheaper than most tomes, but I regret not using a second "exam" review. That is not a reflection of this book, but of the massive amount of material on the exam.

Good book to accompany the Official Guide,
By Jimbo (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mike Meyers' CISSP(R) Certification Passport (Paperback)
I've read several reviews on this book that say it lacks the necessary depth; and I think they are a bit unfair. The objective of this book is simply to provide the least amount of information necessary to pass the exam. Conversely, many of the "larger" books contain information to teach the reader the subject, which may seem unnecessary to many who already know their subject matter. If you were to condense many of these books, you would end up with something resembling this one.
Many other books encourage the reader to memorize unnecessary information, such as vendor specific data, history or countless examples that aren't really relevant to the exam. In memorizing this unnecessary matter, it is possible to overlook more important items. Basically, more information is not necessarily better information. This is the objective of this book. That being said, it would be extremely risky to rely solely on this book. This is because it contains the "least" information required, written some time ago, in an ever changing industry and exam. I passed the exam recently using this book and the Official Guide. At first I started using the Shon Harris All-In-One, but found her very irritating and long-winded, so I dropped it (literally and physically). Interestingly she is the co-author for this book, and some would consider this a very condensed version of the All-In-One Book. A lesser advantage of this book is that you can carry it and read it on trains, work etc. which I found very difficult to do with the bigger 1000 pager hardcover books.
