Review title: Bad Series
Product review: This series from Syngress/Osbourne obviously has no editor or an editor without Industry knowledge. These books cover each objective and thats it, plus the objectives are revealed from the authors standpoint instead of Cisco's. They jump from objective to objective without tying information together. The editor also forgot to check continuity in the examples and figures of the text. A lot of the training aids are wrong with multiple spelling and translational errors that give the reader cause to second guess themselves as well as the book and it's authors. It is written from an informational standpoint instead of the authoritative standpoint which is required in a "teaching" book. Buy books from the creators of the tests (Cisco) or find a truly authoritative author and buy his/her books.
