[Maruta · Rating 4 out of 5]

Apparently, the gold standard for rating a CC exam book is whether it teaches you to extinguish electrical fires and combustible metal blazes—you know, essential daily IT skills. Spoiler: this one skips such unexpected examinable trivialities (thankfully, the CISSP guide I skimmed covers that, lol). I passed the CC exam, but this book alone won't get you there. Otherwise, this book provides a good overview of relevant CC topics—and if you aren't moonlighting as a fire marshal—it's a decent addition to your study arsenal, combined with other sources.

Quick read, focused and easy to understand. Follows exam objectives very well. Liked that an audio version was also available.
