 Helped me pass the 2009 exam August 12, 2010
Amazon_user12 (USA)
This book helped me to pass the 2009 edition exam. I made a score in the mid-800s. I am a mid-level IT professional that had more experience with PC maintenance and software development. Networking wasn't my strongest skill. I spent several months studying for this exam and used the Deluxe edition of the book, it's accompanying CD, and Transcender question bank. The book is adequate for preparing for the N10-004 exam and focuses on the objectives you need to know for the exam. Lammle wrote a good book but sometimes his laid back style got annoying. I would have prefer him to say things in a more straight-forward manner than making side comments in the book. The CD was okay but it was filled with mistakes and errors so don't get discouraged. The Transcender question bank was very helpful and helped to reinforce the concepts that Lammle talked about in this book. I did have to supplement some of my learning with Internet research in order to understand some things in detail but it wasn't a major deal. Focus on trying to understand concepts rather than memorizing questions and you should do fine.
 Review materials are riddled with errors July 12, 2010
Stephen P. Clark (CT)
The book itself is great.
The review questions, flash cards, and practice tests are terrible.
I'm trying to use the review material to practice for the test right now, and they are making me want to scream. There are many, many typographical errors and wrong answers.
Not only that, many of the review questions are repeated or simply reworked and reused.
Mr. Lammle, you're obviously a smart guy and a good teacher. Please, get a good editor.

Excellent book! Has all the needed information and tips to pass the new Network+ exam! Best information I've seen in a long time and an excellent CD to boot. The CD includes the entire book in PDF form so you don't have to carry the book, which is rather large, with you all the time.
Convient but not completely accurate. September 29, 2009

I could overlook a few typos here and there, but only to a certain point. On bonus exam 2, question 29, there is a part that makes no sense. "What advanced feather..." I can only imagine they mean feature, not feather. I have found many questions to have inaccurate answers (the description is usually accurate, but the correct letter is not). That leads me to wonder how many were wrong that I did not catch. There are some test questions that state "select all that apply" but it will only allow you to select one answer. I have come across test questions that refer to a diagram that would not display.
One really nice feature is the ebook. It is much more convenient for me, as I do not have to lug around the book. I was also looking forward to the flash cards, tests, and virtual lab. For the tests, I started checking the answers as I went along with the test, so I could get accurate results (as some are incorrect). I am concerned about the accuracy of the flash cards. The virtual lab appears to be very limited, and not all together useful.
Yes, I would recommend it, but a little quality control would be nice.
Good Read But Annoying August 18, 2009

This book is very readable. The author's personal touch makes it more enjoyable. This makes going through a dry subject easier. A special strength for this book is when it deals with subnetting in much detail. There is one chapter and an appendix on this subject.
The annoying part is all the typos, misstatements, and wrong answers. The text has a few wrong answers, but the practice exams and flashcards on the CD have numerous wrong answers (about 13) along with all the typos. The book and accompanying materials should have been proof-read before being published. Because of this, I would rate this book below average. The cool thing about all this is that the majority of the text material taught me what was wrong in those conflicting areas. I'd prefer a guide book that's more reliable, though.
