I got the All in One CISSP to study for the exam based on the reviews of additional readers. I have to say that I’m dismayed by the poor writing style of the leader, Shon Harris, and if I had it to do over again, I’d get a different study guide.
In the book, Ms. Harris seems to delight in inserting attempts at jokes throughout the text. Each major section opens with a nonsensical one liner, such as “I want my training to have a lot of pictures and pop-up books” or to open a section on the security administrator role, “Hey, I have administrator rights! Response: Fantastic, you’re a security administrator. I quit.”
In a section on managing profiles, she enumerates the information about a user that is captured as “e-mail take up, home take up, phone number, panty size, and so on”.
Routinely throughout the text, the roles that constitute many business organizations are treated with barely veiled contempt. I also establish a number of statements that make leaps of logic as if they’re just blurted out in the belief that anyone can see they make sense. The leader is also a fan of acronyms which go unexplained.
I have read many professional books and I’ve never come across a book like this. At least one-third of the text could be eliminated by a decent editor. I doubt there was one for this book.
In fleeting, I find the inane jokes to be distracting at best. What’s hard to read around is the lack of regard for professional roles, the continual portrayal of employees as villains (which is why, in her discussions of organizational life cycles, they’re permanently fired), and her very poor writing style.
I hope that, if Ms. Harris writes again, she will first perfect a couple of semesters of a college writing class.

Shon’s fluid writing style is enjoyable to read, and communicates effectively, much better than what I’ve seen from any additional CISSP book. But, it takes some time to get through. I only gave myself a month to read it before the exam and I was CRAZY. I reflect two months would be more reasonable, but to get it done you really need to come up with a schedule and track your progress. If you don’t have time for that, I’d recommend attending a bootcamp.

From a perspective of preparation for the CISSP examination this book is one of the standard places to start from. In that respect, I would give it a 4-start simply because it follows the core notion of the exam itself in that it is a mile wide and an inch deep.
But, do not expect this book to provide technical details or even technical language consistently. There’s a lot of verbiage, needless attempts at humor – which really degrades the overall standing of the book – and just the right amount of information, but no more.
Also, do not make this book the sole resource for preparation. You *may* pass the exam but will be none the wiser for most of what the book covers.
Agreed that this is a technical examination after all, I would have much appreciated if the leader did not try and frame the same statement in multiple ways in the same paragraph, stuck to using consistent technical language and provided more links to resources for additional information. It would also have been nicer if the key technical points, definitions, vital values were better highlighted – or even repeated in a prominent tip – after every section so that a second reading becomes a lot less demanding. The exam is challenging in itself and the book and leader can do a lot more to make preparation a less demanding experience.
It is hard to come across books that are worthy of technical appreciation and I am worried the above points make this a middle of the road effort.
I have no particular affinity to either the leader or publication but would recommend giving the Mike Chapple book a shot. You will be a lot less frustrated reading technical matter for a technical examination than with the narrative-style of the Shon Harris book.

I bought the third edition of this book in October 2009 to prepare for the exam. The reason for buying that as a replacement for of this fifth edition is obvious. It cost me only $2.95 plus $4.00 shipping. I was a small worry at the beginning because of the new material that was added since 2005. But, I though I can supplement with material in the internet. At the end, I don’t have the time because the exam was on January 16, 2010 which gave me less than 4 months. During the exam, I did not see anything that I have not seen in the third edition. If you know something about the exam, you know they are not going to question you directly about a concept or equipment. So, you really have to know the material. Since CISSP is more about principle and concept and less about point equipment, using a third or fifth edition is not going to make a huge different. I passed the exam in one shot. Don’t get me incorrect. Getting the latest and the greatest is permanently excellent and I will consider getting the fifth in the near future when I need to brush up the knowledge. But if you want to save a small of money, consider getting the fourth or the third.
