I actually found this book to be quite simple and straight forward. Although, it really is not for the ultra-techinical person, it is a great overview of PeopleSoft and HRMS in particular. I found its chapters on using the Query tool to be excellent for a beginner and a great refresher for an experienced PeopleSoft user. If you are looking for a book that will prepare you for class and as a quick reference, this is more than adequate, but if you are looking for a book that is going to teach you the intricate workings of PeopleSoft, this is not it. At my current place of employment, this is a hot book because the chapters are straight forward, short, and written in a very simple style. The only reason why this book will not get five stars is because it really does not delve into other reporting tools used with PeopleSoft, particularly SQR. Compared to other books on the market, if you were introducing someone to 'What is PeopleSoft' this would be the book I would give them first!

Gives a good overview of PeopleSoft. I read this in just a few days and was up and running with the basics. It's a small and easy to read book. Step by step instruction with lots of visuals/screenshots. A little outdated but the core basics are the same. I would highly recommend this for someone new to PeopleSoft or who is interviewing for a PeopleSoft related position. It will give you just the facts you need to impress your boss!
