Summary: A good reference point - but not the answer!
Comment: If you're reading this review, you're probably about to study for CISSP. (or you're insomniac!). If you _are_ studying for CISSP, this, or frankly any, of the large tomes on CISSP will help. They _won't_ cover all the bases, and they probably won't accomodate your individual learning style.
My approach to the exam was:
1 - read the 'whole' subject area (CISSP for Dummies is a good starting point)
2 - do exam test questions (both Shon and the Dummies book have these)
3 - detailed study (for which Shon is fine)
wrt Shon's book itself - the detail is good, but the humour grates a little after a while, and whilst the depth of knowledge is good, it doesn't always explain _why_ something is important.
The reason why this review doesn't just focus on the Shon book is because 1 book _won't_ get you through the exam.... you _will_ need practical experience (or equivalent knowledge) to 'join the dots'.
oh, and good luck!

Summary: Use it for reference
Comment: Look, everyone says that this is the best book in the world. It's not. It quite comprehensive, but that is partly at the cost of Shon repeating herself over and over again. Some people find that to be a useful learning technique. I don't. It did my head in. I needed to pass CISSP in a week, and I did with "CISSP for Dummies" which is a much easier read that doesn't cause you to want to go to the fridge for a beer, go to the coffee machine or just go outside and shoot yourself every five minutes.
Note that Shon Harris in with all this does not quite hit the nail on the head. You would imagine from this book that the correct answer to any question is always the paranoid one, and that you simply have to learn it all by rote. That's not quite true. Refreshingly, when you get into the ISC2 exam room, you find that the questions are actually written intelligently and that if you actually understand the material, you can fill in the gaps with your brain. Be sure that you understand the material, rather than just mind-numbingly remembering this one book. Breadth is good.
You DO need this book - or one of the later editions. But only use it for reference, in conjunction with the included trial exams. Do your basic learning with something readable.

Summary: Best CISSP Preparation Material
Comment: 2 colleagues and myself attended a CISSP CBK preparation course conducted by K.Henry from ISC2, it was excellent training by Kevin. After that, we had the ISC2 preparation guide (by K.Henry too) and Shon's All-In-One. We also went through Dr.Krutz's prep exam questions. I feel this is an excellent combination. Shon's book is very informative and readable. No unnecessary jokes like "the Dummy" series yet the presentation is lively enough. ISC2 official guide gave a good review of the syllabus and useful questions after every chapter. All 3 of us passed the exam at first trial after 1 month of preparation, the feeling is just too good! A BIG Thank you to Shon and Kevin!

Summary: Highly recommended
Comment: Very good book, concise and easy to read and understand. Does a good job of filling in the gaps for any of the domains you don't have experience in.

Summary: Surefire winner to pass your CISSP exam
Comment: I've just passed my CISSP exam and this book was the main source of my study. I read it twice in a period of two months, and you'll need to as there is so much information to take in. Shon Harris' style is informative with diagrams and even a touch of humor to keep your interest in some of the more heavy going areas. This differs from the official guide which is an enormous block of text. The text in the All-in-One Exam Guide is well laid out and easy on the eyes which is great on those inevitable late evenings revising. Take note of the tips and make sure you load the free CD as it is well worth the exam practice. Good Luck for your exam.
