Negative Positive
Title: A good general overview -- but that's it.
Review: I studied this book cover-to-cover in preparation for the 70-152 exam and don't feel it contributed much to my passing the exam. It covers all the relevant areas but tends to avoid detail in most sections. Some sections (like DHTML and scriptlets) are over-emphasized for the weight they carry on the exam. My background in IIS and ASP/VBScript got me about 75% of the way to passing, and the Transcender did the rest. This book might be useful if you're already very comfortable with all the subjects and you want to know exactly what topics are on the exam, but for an exam prep alone, this book is insufficient.
