Summary: Good starting point for CISSP
Comment: This book is a good outline for the CISSP Objectives. Mr. Gregg arranges the topics from each domain in a clear, concise manner. However, this book should not be used as your sole resource to study for the exam. It should be used in conjunction with other study materials, such Shon Harris' All in One book and the website [...]. The book does contain a CDROM with 250 practice questions from www.cccure.org which was also very helpful. This book is an excellent starting point in becoming CISSP certified.

Summary: A Great Guide to Passing the Exam
Comment: Per the publisher's intent, the CISSP Exam Cram 2 is not meant to be a comprehensive preparation for the ISC2 CISSP exam, but a summary of its important elements. As such, this book does a good job, and I would recommend the book to help gain an understanding of the topics and identify areas for further study.
Any Exam Cram book should be just part of the prep for an exam as expansive as the CISSP. It's advisable to use other additions study resources especially if you want to truly know the material and not just prep to pass an exam. Check out some of the many on-line resources and spend some time doing practice questions. The CISSP Exam Cram 2 also includes a set of practice multiple-choice questions on CD-ROM. The CISSP Exam Cram 2 should be considered as an introductory part of a rigorous curriculum in preparation for ISC2 CISSP Exam exam. The book was a valuable tool for my exam efforts.

Summary: Do not waste the $24.50
Comment: This book is completely inadequate for the CISSP. The Security + Exam cram 2 was twice as big for a test half this size. I wish someone had warned me before buting this book. When I opened the package and sow how small this book was I laughed. Can I get my money back? I am not normally this harsh of a critic and I am a big fan of Exam Cram but common this book is pathetic. Buy the Security + Exam Cram before you buy this one.

Summary: Good Prep Material
Comment: No single book will prepare you for any certification exam and with what the CISSP exam costs you will want to make sure you are fully prepared. I found this book worth the money. It's a good book to start you on the path to the CISSP exam or for a final review of the subject matter. It covers all the ten domains and unlike some books, which seem to read like stereo instructions, the language in the book was clear and understandable. So get yourself several texts to study for the exam and make sure this is one of them. You will have a good head start towards passing.

Summary: Cheap, complete & well-written = 3 ***
Comment: I gave this book 3 stars because it's concise, reasonably well-written and somehow complete. ISC2's exams are a b**ch because nobody really knows what stuff will be covered and what will not. Personally, I used this book as my first study material. I read that thing twice before switching to the Keutz Prep Guide + the official ISC2 book which are longer and more detailed. Questions are way too easy so they're not to be used as primers before doing the exam.
To wrap things up, it's an average book with some multiple minor mistakes. It's concise but it should not be your sole source of material. That being said, as of today, I would suggest buyers invest their hard-earned $$$ toward a proven book such as Keutz's Prep Guide or Harris's All In One.
