Reader Reviews
Being the Third Edition, you would expect this book to have cleared up the mistakes found in the Second Edition, instead it compounds it beyond belief. Someone should have read this book before publishing it, because it is letdown badly by awful mistakes, it becomes a case of spot the errors on every page. You even have entire chapters repeated later on in the book, so you end up reading the same material as you read a few pages ago. The test questions, though most of them good are letdown by more mistakes. It's a shame really as the book is pretty decent, just needed someone to proof-read it. Would I advise you to buy this book? Yes, because it's a good test to spot the mistakes!! makes you think harder, and you should use this book just to test yourself before taking the exam, make sure you have a proper Cisco CCNA book before taking the exam.
