This was a great and useful book. It helped me pass the exam today with a 89.44%!! The book is well written and laid out; it gets right to the point. Being less than 700 pages, I was able to complete the book in 1 month. There wasn't one question on the exam that this book didn't cover. If the reader takes their time to read the book and grasp the concepts, and go through the end of chapter questions, they will ace the exam.

I enjoyed this book immensely, and the info is there to get you prepared for the ACSP test. What I did not appreciate was some rather bad typos i.e. "Mac OS X HFS+ Journeyed" (should have been "Journaled"), and various other typos, the especially bad ones were in regards to UNIX terminal commands. I also did not like the random gender assignments when discussing scenarios, i.e. "When the user logs in to the computer, what is HER next step". The author kept weaving in and out of general non-gendered examples and gendered.
All in all, a good read for the information contained. Watch out for the typos, and don't let them confuse you.
