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.
