Summary: Excellent book for learning the i-Net+ material
Review: I bought this book a while back and let it sit for quite some time before I finally dug into it. Unfortunately, when I went to schedule my exam (I was 3 chapters from the end of the book) I found out that the test objectives were slightly altered(to reflect changes in technology). Fortunately, I found a 25 page study guide on the internet that gave an overview of the new objectives for the new exam(IKO-002). The i-Net+ exam covers a broader scope of knowledge than any certification exam I have previously taken (A+, Network+ and Server+). As for this book, I think it's a fantastic resource. It covered the broad spectrum of material in as great a depth as I believe is possible without being dry and unreadable. The fact that I was able to pass the new exam with flying colors (I got an 811 out of a possible 900) using this book and only an amended study guide is quite a testimony to the thoroughness of this book. I should warn that there are a few errors here and there on some of the practice tests. Also, the practice test questions range in difficulty from very challenging to insultingly easy - fortunately the latter type of question is rare and most give at least a moderate challenge. Oh well, if you take your time and read/study the book cover to cover you'll know the stuff well enough to edit what few mistakes there are in the pracice exams. A+, Network+, Server+ and i-Net+ certified

Summary: Worth the money!
Review: I passed the exam using this and the Exam Cram book. Although I do find there is unecessary information in places, it covers everything needed for the exam. If you pass the sample test at the end of the book then you're ready. I recommend the Exam Cram from Coriolis to supplement this book. Good Luck!!

Summary: Good book
Review: I used this book and the Sybex book to help me pass the inet+ exam. This book went into a lot more detail than the Sybex did, which I enjoy. I like more information than I need so this book was great and I still use it today.

Summary: Good as an overview and a basic reference of the internet
Review: If you have absolutely no internet or networking experience, or never even logged many hours on the internet then perhaps you should purchase the i-Net+ exam prep. I have taken some college courses, and done some coding so I was familar with the technologies involved. I prefered the exam cram over the exam prep, because it is very compact and to the point. This book, the i-net+ prep, is designed more as a reference it gives a great starting point for all the technologies related to the internet. However, I found the i-net+ exam cram more to the point. I would recommed the exam prep, only if you have limited experience, alot of time on your hands, and are looking for a very good starting reference of internet technologies. Another benefit to this book is the practice exam included on the CD. The i-net+ exam prep has all the information you need to study for and pass the i-Net+ exam by comptia. If you don't have much time, don't want an extremely good reference, and are able to pull free demo practice exams off the net then However, I recommend only buying the i-net+ exam cram which is only approximately 300 pages compared to the 500 pages in this book. I used both books, but in hindsight I think The exam cram would be the only book you need. I passed on my first try with 84%. Hope this helps. Good luck. A. Mohammed MCP, A+, Network+, i-Net+

Summary: A lot of information, but too dry to read
Review: There are not too many study guides for you if you are working on the i-net+ exam. Most of you probably get the one from Sybex and the Exam Prep. Both of these are just average quality compared to A+, Net+, CCNA, or MCSE study guides published by those two companies. I used both of the study guides to prepare for my i-net+ exam. This book covers more than the Sybex one, other than the fact that this book is too dry for people to read. I did not read that from cover to cover, instead, I did the practice tests, chapter tests, and tests from the Sybex book, and found the explainations and definitions from this book if I answered wrong. Overall, this book has a lot of information but it's just hard for the reader to digest.

Summary: A lot of information, but too dry to read
Review: This book touches all bases of the fundamental basics that are required for the test. I had a peek at it before printing because I was able to do a bit of editing with one of the authors. If there is only one book that you need to be able to pass this test......BUY THIS ONE! I had chance to read a few others upon recommendation of one of the authors of this book and in all honesty, they were not quite as detail-oriented...to the point! This book has given a stay-at-home mom a new insight into life.
