Well, it is good.
I will read it few more times during the year because I need to pass this exam.
Book is well written, but I think there is a lot of thing and facts which I do not need nor now nor ever.

This is a good basis for 70-432 exam. It covers all topics and where necessary it redirects you to other books, websites or articles.
