This author, in the first chapter, admits that the actual 70-058 exam contains questions that are more general than the questions this book poses. If this is true, why bother confusing the reader with questions which are unnecessarily difficult, misleading, and downright incorrect? A number of the questions asked don't necessarily test your knowledge, but instead poses hypothetical situations which borders on the silly (e.g. a question asks you how would you build a network next to a hydro powered dam!) To give this book some credit, some of the questions are good review reminders and they do help you keep in mind the little details that you would tend to forget. You're better off sticking to the study guide from IDC books and having faith in your own abilities. The practice questions posed here do throw you off a bit and infuses doubt into your head, which is not good for passing any exam.

It seems that in the rush to beat the competition to market there was not enough time to even proof read the book. It is full of incorrect statements, typos and even incorrect answers to the practice questions. I find this approach irresposible and maybe even dishonest. On the other hand the wording of most of the questions is infantile, full of irrelevant statements and to my feeling, patronizing. Even assuming (and I am not sure) that the author has a thorough knowledge of the subject matter, he is most unqualified to teach. He takes the approach of impressing the student with how much he knows (snow job) rather than sharing his knowledge with the reader. I feel that the publisher owes me for the time I wasted enduring this book at my regular consulting rates. I have 33 years experience with computing, five of which I tought programming at NYU. For an example of sloppiness see pages 32 and 33.

Book has misleading information, with a lot of practice questions that lack detail and are very broad on any of the exam objectives. A real waste of time.

This book is littered with ambiguities. Many questions are obviously incorrect, and worse yet, they teach you the wrong thing.
Don't get this one. It'll only confuse you and cause you to question the knowledge you already have.
By
Just A waste of time. Impossible to memorise all these questions. Ideal for someone whose been networking for some years and thinking about getting certified.
