    Network+ 2005 In Depth (In Depth)
    Review User:ANONYMOUS
    Review Date:04-02-2009
    Review Text: This is the only book I used to pass the exam. It reads like a textbook but, that's also it's greatest strength because, it makes it a great reference book for the future.

    All in all, it's a dry read. It has excellent review questions at the end of each chapter and a practice exam in one of the appendices.


    CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide
    Review User:techprep
    Review Date:03-23-2009
    Review Text: I've read thru this book three times. I like the way it reads; I prefer it to Mike Meyers All-in-One (which I've also read, 2nd and 5th editions). There are a few typos in it, and at least 1 or 2 errors in the book ( ex, p.510 "Biba Model" illustration, *should* show "no write up; no read down" )

    They should make service packs for books. We should get discounts for reporting such errors to the author/publisher!


    Network+ Exam Cram 2 (Exam Cram N10-003)
    Review User:badgerjedi
    Review Date:03-22-2009
    Review Text: Very good book for someone who has maybe taken a class or has been around networks for a while. Or maybe someone who doesn't mind looking some concepts up on google from time to time. This was definitely my main study book for the Network+.
