I found much of the content to be good but there are a lot of glaring typos and formatting errors. For example, the table of contents show there are 12 chapters, but the book's interior takes chapters 11 and 12 and labels them 17 and 18. When I got to these chapters, I was honestly worried that chapters 11-16 were completely missing.
There are spelling and grammatical errors galore. These detract from the author's credibility to not have proofread or polished the book before publishing. Not to mention, I suspect this barely scratches the surface on information actually covered on the exam. Hence, why I'll go read the actual study guide next.
