Summary: Quantity - not quality
Review: I agree with the other reviewer who had difficulties with the first chapter exam. I took the exam prior to reading the chapter and scored 50%. I read chapter 1 fully, retook the exam and still scored 50%. After reviewing the answers in the back of the book, half of the questions/answers are either poorly phrased or just wrong. After reading other reviewer, I can see that the other chapters will be just as frustrating. I'm hoping Syngress has updated software on their sight.

Summary: Okay but carefully read it.
Review: The book is fine and easy to read but you will find errors on it. The good thing about it is that it does provide an on-line service to point you to the errors on this book. The exams are also updated from the book. They do respond very quickly. I am pleased with this book but I would also study on the Transends exam and the Mastering Series VB6 CD.

Summary: If you want to pass the exam DO NOT buy this book.
Review: I am glad to see that so many other developers saw the same problems with the book as I did. The sheer number of obvious errors made it impossible to trust any of the books content. Do yourself a favor and buy the exam cram series.

Summary: correction: no star for this book
Review: If other commercial products can be recalled owing to the quailty, why not this one?

Summary: The Material has Too Many Errors!!!
Review: I have never seen so many errors in one title in my life. Whoever edited this book (if anyone did) is in the wrong line of work. The only reason I didn't give it 1 star is that it does have a great deal of information. You must verify *EVERYTHING* to be comfortable it is correct. Maybe that is how the Author wants us to learn the material. <grin> It worked for me, I Aced the test!!! (it wasn't the only material I studied either) Pick at least 2 titles and use the MSDN.

Summary: Better than nothing.
Review: The contents of the book do, in fact, map to the information on the test, except for a few huge, glaring omissions (Debug.assert? What's that?). The mistakes in the self test are especially frustrating when trying to do that one-last-review before the exam. The exam tends to focus on COM a lot, which the book fails to address really well. At the same time, the exam has a lot of installation and distribution questions that the book was good preparation for. A second edition of this book, with all the errors fixed, might be worth buying. n.b. I did pass the exam on this book alone, so it can't be that bad.

Summary: Great book but missing the cd
Review: I loved the book. Perhaps it could have used a human editor to read the book and notice the spelling errors. This is all too common nowadays. The cd was missing on the first book so I just called Amazon and they 2nd day shipped me a new one at no charge. Great service at this Amazon. I think maybe I will buy the stock. My books always arrive in two days. My Barnes and Noble orders mostly make it in two days also, however my last one took four days.

Summary: This is the WORST book I've ever seen
Review: I'm giving up after one chapter. Most of the 20 questions at the end of the first chapter were badly written - half of the answers given were wrong. Who was the proofreader for this book?!
Rating:
Summary: Good Book But...
Review: The book is good. There are errors but that made me more critical and analytical on what I was reading. It helped me a lot especially when I took the test. I do hope that the authors of this book realize that they have responsibilities to their customers. Although they have posted some corrections on their website, it is not enough. They should be extra careful next time because people are spending their hard earned money on their products and they expect that the product is worth it.

Summary: I would pick 0 stars if I could!
Review: I wish I had read these online reviews before I purchased this book. I plan on returning it and looking for something better. Anything would be better. I just finished chapter 1, and found many editing errors. These errors are so bad, that the reader will choose incorrect answers on the self test portions. This is no way to prepare for such and important exam.
