Title: Two Stars
Product review: This book focuses on the lifeless details, and really lifeless exercises. That makes it hard to stay awake. There is not a lot of meat. You could not use it for a reference, too much filler and makes the assumption of no particular expertise by the reader. It leads the reader in the exercises and the accompanying CD to believe that the test is about memorization of fine details that would take years to memorize. I have taken a half dozen certifications, they are not about memorizing details. I do not expect to take the certification exam after plodding through this book. This book is pretty much the way other Microsoft Press books are written, some may be happy with that, but I find they kill my interest.
