5.0 out of 5 stars Other reviewer not objective., December 9, 2004

This review is from: Network+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Third Edition (All-in-One) (Hardcover)

He can write this book for it, as he is a member of CompTIA he gets information about its objectives before the exam so he CAN have a book for it. I have this book in my possesion and I assure you it is NOT rushed in any way. And useless? How can you possibly say that?

Having asked Mike myself (email) he was almost done with an updated version when the new test was annouced, so very little had to be added to cover the new objectives.

Please, read the book before making such bold accusations that it is worthless. I find it very informative and useful.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, October 13, 2005

This is a good book. If you are a beginner to networking this is a great place to start. I disagree that you can pass the Net+ exam with this book only though.

I did not buy the extra exam questions that the author sells. Maybe with those and this book you could pass the exam.

I used this book and Exam Cram to pass my Net + exam. I would suggest using this book, exam cram, and self test to make sure you are ready and know the material.

In this book the self test questions were too easy. They were not even close to what I seen on the exam. Combine this book with other resources and you will be happy.

Mike Meyers once again has come out with a comprehensive certification book and CD ROM to help Techs get through the Network Plus Exam. Mr.Meyers was able to come out with a book on time for the Beta Exam release. There is a technique to using the authors books, and while he does suggest a technique in the beginning, I would suggest giving his book a read through two to three times not challenging yourself until the final reading. This book makes an excellent precursor to Passport or Exam Cram.
