Summary: Much better with holes
Comment: While Drew Heywood is an excellent author - this book will not be one to wind up in his Hall of Fame. This book was chock full of inaccurate statements, misleading comments, and poorly thought out statements. Using this to study from, or even using it as a reference would be a mistake. I found it very tough to read, and most of the time found it downright frustrating. I would, however, recommend it for target practice. The book becomes much more valuable (not to mention, lighter) after substantial portions of it are removed with a large calibre hand gun. Surprisingly, the readability doesn't suffer in the least. Seriously though, this book is terrible and the back of a cereal box would make a better study guide.

Summary: Great For Target Practice!
Comment: I read the whole thing with the help of some wine. I actually let a friend of mine read the book, but more as a practical joke. Well, my friend didn't think it was too funny. We both found it to be a waste of our time.

We did, however, find some value in the book at the target range. He took his 45 and I took out my 40 and we used the book as a sight in target. (I'll see if I can get him to write a review as well) This was the first and only time we have ever done anything like this. I teach the Microsoft curriculum and have found some other joy in passing the book around the room and telling the students that I would not recommend using it in the real world or to study for certification exams. You should see their expressions when they open the bullet torn pages and see pieces fall out.

Please don't get me wrong here. I love books and would never recommend that anyone do this with any other book. But, if you stumble across this one - go for it!

By the way - Drew Heywood did, in fact, write the best book I ever read on TCP/IP.

Summary: Excellent training/study guide, near-excellent reference
Comment: One reader complained that there is "nly two pages for groups."So what! All you need to know for the exam is what groups do what. For more detailed info on groups, use the Microsoft Windows NT Network Administration Training book, or, O'Reilly's Windows NT in a Nutshell.

I very highly recommend this book for not only exam preparation purposes, but as an extensive, well-written reference point. Worth every penny.
