"DONT READ THIS!!!!" - by Anonymous on 09-JUN-2010

By far the worst book I have ever read, period.

The errata (corrections) are larger then the book itself and if you rely upon it as is, you will surely fail the exam since almost all of the facts are incorrect (again, see the errata).

The only reviewer that may give this book more then one star, is a reviwer that has not wireless exp. or has not written the exam yet.  Very disappoint that I paid money for this and I can't believe Cisco Press publised this.  They really should issue a public appology for this book.  James Carroll, please don't write another book, for the sake of the public.

while nonetheless informative, this book did NOT prepare me sufficiently for the exam's questions.  This is shameful considering this is publicized as the official exam certification guide.  Its breadth fell FAR short of informing the reader of the knowledge required to pass the exam.  If you are using this to prepare for the exam, I urge you to use a secondary source such as getting an exam simulator, otherwise kiss your exam money goodbye.
