 No better than the first one. May 11, 2007

This book was no better than the first version. Don't waste your money you're not missing anything.
 Decent Guide to the CISSP March 26, 2007
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
I have read 4 books in my preparation for the CISSP. The All-in-One, Official CISSP CBK, CISSP Prep Guide, and the CISSP Exam Cram. This along with numerous study guides and several online courses. My overall comment is that I expected more from this book. It is extremely verbose and does not seem to "flow" like some of the other books. (Probably because it is written by numerous authors). The test questions at the end of each chapter are poorly written. It also seemed to lack some of the critical details I found in other books. The best overall guide I have found so far is the All-in-One (no big surprise). The official CISSP CBK did not provide any significant details you cannot find the All-in-one and it lacked details in several key areas.
 Great overview, a few bugs though March 12, 2007

This is a great overview of the CBK, presented by experts in each domain. The quality is good overall, but some of the chapters are a little choppy and contain typo and consistency errors (these are few and far between, though). The material is presented as a scholarly writing (as it should be) and isn't really appropriate for someone brand-new to the security field. This serves as a great reference guide for a CISSP (especially for the wealth of references in Law and Ethics domain).
 Not the book to buy March 6, 2007

I cannot recommend this book. Each chapter is written by a different author or authors. Some of those chapters are extremely good. Others are very poor. In fact, portions of the book are the most difficult to read technical text I have ever seen. In those areas, gleaning the information needed for the CISSP exam (or any other purpose) is difficult at best. Also, there are some significant accuracy errors in some places. I really believe your money is better spent on the Shon Harris CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, Third Edition.
 Must Have guide for the new test December 23, 2006

First, I am an Authorized (ISC)2 instructor, but my comments are my own, not endorsed by (ISC)2.
This book is a major rewrite and improvement over the prior version. The examples are clear, the information is up to date (at least up to the printing date; things are sure to change). It makes a great supplement to the official course and would also be useful to those trying to do it on their own.
For those that don't know, the CBK (Common Body of Knowledge) on which the book, the course and the test are all based, is updated each year. This is, to date, the only book that matches the latest CBK revision.
It lists the 13 contributors and their credentials; all are well known experts in their fields. By comparision, the competitive titles are written by one or two people who have the impossible job of knowing everything.
If you only get one book, get this one.
