CISSP All-in-One Exam Guide, Third Edition Review by Kristian Erik Hermansen
Really is "All-In-One", but you can't be an imbecile
I am a 25 year old infosec dude and found this book to be the only one necessary. I did practice exams online after reading through the ~1000 pages Shon Harris has put together. It reads well, and is not entirely boring. I think that anyone can pass the exam with just this book, but you can't be an imbecile. I have written exploit code before, researched vulnerabilities, and have been messing around with hacking since the 90's when I was in high school. So, many of the technical stuff I knew very well. With the CISSP, you also need to understand the non-technical side of things. Learning the other domains can be challenging. In the end, when taking the test, you learn to identify what they examiners are looking for. You may be yelling and screaming in your head during the exam that this question is ridiculous, and you would be right. You have to step back and pretend you are in high school again to answer the questions correctly. If you see the word "management", then you should always check that box. The are the tips I can pass on to would-be CISSP seekers. Good luck :-)
