4.0 out of 5 stars So far, so good...., June 14, 2009

I bought Krutz's first book on CISSP prep and found it to be very readable and made difficult concepts more easily understood, at least enough for me to pass my CISSP certification. So far I'm 40% into this text and the same formula is holding true. A good aid for prepping for the CEH.
