Title: Good book, but better with a prep course
Review: I bought this book as a study aid to help me pass the test. Good news.... I passed on the first go around. Bad - IMHO, this book alone is not enough. I had a prep course which was invaluable in giving hints on the "need to know" and "not worth the study time" topics. I also found that there were a number of topics covered as "must knows" in the prep course that were not covered in the Rita's book or the Kerzner textbook.In general - as an aid, the book is fantastic; however, I do have one beef with the book... I found it really patronizing. The author quite frequently makes statements in the book that say (paraphrased, of course) that if you don't know XYZ topic, then you're not a good project manager. Honestly, this got annoying after the first time reading it. I didn't buy the book for a lecture... only to pass the test.
Is the review positive or negative?
