Excellent CISSP Exam Tool

I just received word two weeks ago that I passed the CISSP exam and I give credit to this book for helping me out. I read the book once, I reviewed my hi-lites once, and I took a couple practice questions. The book covered roughly 99% of the questions asked in the exam; there were about 3 questions relating to what a newly hired security manager would do that I don't believe was addressed in the book.

Another thing to note is that the book is only 724 pages long compared to 1108 pages for the Shon Harris book. It's more concise. I bought the Shon Harris book because everyone swore by it, but I found it long and verbose. I also didn't like her interpretation of drp and bcp as she talked about this subject from a security perspective. So after reading the 1st two chapters of the Shon Harris book, I stopped and bought the Sybex book.

I don't believe one person can truly be an expert in all ten domains and be able to effectively interpret and communicate all ten domains in one book. In contrast, I love the fact that this book is a collaborative effort of three authors. I haven't had a chance to take a look at the ISC2 book, but as I am involved with ITGI and ISACA, I would believe that their book is collaborative in nature as well.
