Used this book and a few others years ago to pass my CISSP exam. Never attended a class just previous experience and hours studying book like this. The sample questions are very helpful. Passing the CISSP is as much about getting familiar with how questions are asked as knowing the material

As far as CISSP books go, this is the all knowing reference book. I would not recommend reading this book to study for your CISSP, but more as a guide to use while studying. It was of great use for that. I like to call this book BIG GREEN. If I need to find a more in depth explanation or find info on something I couldn't find elsewhere, this is the book to find it. It has everything you will need to know for the CISSP exam and more. I think it would be very useful while working as a CISSP as well. I know it has been for me. I can always find what I am looking for at work and it helps lead me to other resources as well.

Easily the most poorly-written book I've ever read. I thought it might perhaps be due to the subject matter, but when I stumbled into a full paragraph copied verbatim, that illusion was shattered.

One of the most important tasks for any IT professional is to translate the boring/confusing reality of our jobs into a form ready for consumption by the laypeople we work with.

This book fails incredibly hard in this respect.

Read it if you have to, but avoid at all costs otherwise.

Does a really good job of laying out material for the CISSP exam, but can get extremely dry in parts and tough to power through.

[Tim Finley]

Didn't finish this one, partly because of the steep drop off in value of the CISSP Certificate.

A painful read, but a good refresher prior to exam for the security domains you don't deal with on a daily basis.

It's a big, dry book but it's a ton of information.
