I'm reading this book more as a high-level entry-point into security rather than using it as a study guide for the CISSP exam. I come from a network-oriented experience, and was interested in learning more about other aspects of computer security and in that regard, the book works well as an entry point. Entire books could (and have) been written on any one particular topic, but this book gave me an overall understanding of topics and the knowledge of where to go to next if I want a deeper dive.

Holy crap it's a biggun. About a thousand pages of information to cram into your brain.

I liked how this book was written. It was mostly conversational, easy to understand, and well formatted. I did pretty well on the review quizzes but I think, from what I've heard from others, is that they're a bit simplified compared to the test but they still help show you where you may be lacking. I plan on using the maroon/gold practice test book (4th ed) as well to supplement the reading to finish prepping for the exam. Here's hoping!

I used this study guide along with Shon Harris' All in One book. Together they prepared me well for the exam. Recommended.
