 CISSP All in one Exam GuideJul 06, 2010
I cannot say enough good things about this book. I used this and Exam Cram as my sole sources to prepare for this exam and I passed on my first try. I don't have a very technical background so this book prepared me thoroughly for the exam and also helped a great deal in my work as an IT Security Specialist.
Superb Domain CoverageJun 10, 2010
I've had the pleasure to attend a CCISP class conducted by Shon Harris. She is an exceptional instructor and her All in One book translates the classroom discussions well to the written form.
Great coverage of all the required domains. Highly recommended!

I passed the CISSP using only this book and a TON of preparationMay 31, 2010
There is no simple formula to prepare for the CISSP certification, and no single resource which can guarantee success on the certification exam since every applicant's background is unique. However, this book (fifth edition) was my only resource in preparing for the exam and I passed on my first attempt (April 24, 2010).
I spent 60+ hours in preparation for the exam... that's 60+ hours of DEDICATED individual study using this book and CD, not 60+ hours spent web surfing during lunch hours or commercial breaks. My recent background is in middle management, with 20 years experience in network architecture and data security, so I already had a firm technical foundation for the test areas dealing with protocols and encryption variations. I also have an MS in Computer Science. Nonetheless, the exam was so broad, with topics covering general principles and concepts, that I could have prepared twice as long and still left the exam with questions about the outcome.
My personal opinion is that formal classroom instruction, through one of the many organizations offering CISSP preparation courses, is a worthwhile companion to Shon Harris' book. A study group is also a good idea. You will not obtain CISSP certification if you take the exam without preparation. This book (fifth edition) was sufficient, but not 100% comprehensive, to prepare me for passing the CISSP test.
Note: Some reviewers do not appreciate Shon's frequent analogies and humor. Most of her analogies helped me internalize the complex topics, but that's my personal learning style. The efforts at humor were generally awful, but every once in a while she was subtle and brilliant enough to make me laugh out loud. Working through Shon's unique writing style was not a problem for me... I actually found it refreshing.

The fifth updated edition of All-in-One CISSP Exam Guide provides complete coverage of the latest release of the CISSP exam, is written by a leading expert in IT security certification, and offers a course text accompanied by a CD-ROM of hundreds of practice exam questions and a video training excerpt by the author. Both students practicing for the exam and workers on the job need this detailed, in-depth course, jam packed with information and tests to be certain of comprehension.

 Too many pointless commentsMay 13, 2010
I just bought this book and are going through it. There are too many pointless comments in this book that I believe there are better books out there for preparing the exam or as a reference.
