5.0 out of 5 stars THE best CCNA book out there!, September 4, 2007

By	James J. Mundy (Greenville, SC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own too many CCNA books. I only wish I had started with this one. As a recertification candidate I was floored by the amount of new material covered by the current CCNA exams. Todd Lammle has such a great way of presenting the material as it relates to the Cisco CCNA exam objectives, but also with respect to what we CCNA's do every day. Read this book, listen to Mr. Lammle's guidance, work the labs with real equipment or a great simulator like RouterSim's Network Visualizer, and pass the exam! This book is the best, and in my opinion the only, CCNA book you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent study material for the CCNA Certification Test, August 30, 2007

By	Rob Hamlin (Dallas, Tx United States) - See all my reviews

I used this book to pass my CCNA test on August 24th.

This text is much easier to read than the Cisco Press books. The material is easy to understand and Todd had done an excellent job showing the reader his own processes for learning. Two words, Block Size. Who knew calculating subnets could be so easy.

The additional material on the CD (testing questions) are excellent for developing skills as well.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is pursuing a first CCNA or renewing an expired certification.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great reference tool., October 23, 2007

By	Lauren Gale (No Left Turn, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I can't agree more with the other reviewers. Their reviews is exactly why I bought the book.

The greatest thing about this book is the casual style it's written in. You can read it without feeling like you're reading a text book. It may not be for the person who is masochistic enough to want to be lectured to in written form, but for someone like me who can fall asleep in a second in a text book, it's fantastic.

If only my other text books were written like this...I'd maybe learn a thing.
