The formatting/outlining is a lil off...but not a big deal, still easy to follow. Some of the explanations seemed "flowery." Like...just tell me what it is, straight up, when you first mention it. I shouldn't have to wait until all the way to the end of the chapter to know the true definition of something. But that's just my learning style. Your mileage may vary.
This book was very brief and to the point. Not a lot of fluff or detail. This is however for the ITF+ exam which is not nearly in depth or as complex as the A+ to my understanding. It was a good review of the concepts I learned in school at a very basic level which I hope is enough to help me pass the exam.
