I passed

I picked up this book and the Shon Harris book as primary study resources for the CISSP exam. I thought this book was far superior to the Harris book for a number of reasons including readability and usefulness of the subject matter coverage beyond the exam. The Harris book had all of these little 'cute' italicized sayings when introducing many topics and they were either confusing, not cute or distracting. Example - "Trust and Assurance: I trust that you will act properly, thus I have a high level of assurance in you. Response: You are such a fool." What the heck? As I read each book my initial take was that the authors for this book were more experienced than the Harris book, and I quickly put the Harris book down. I do a lot of consulting and I thought this book had some chapters that would be good reference for higher level managers that aren't strong technically. Bottom line - I passed.
