Thorough Review:

Unlike some of the other opinions that have been written regarding this book, I found it highly useful and would certainly recommend it to anyone who does not just want bare memorization material for an exam, but truly desires to learn about Micosoft security.

I have three MCSE's, and I have just obtained my MCSE: Security on Server 2003; and, I will keep this book for continued professional reference.

general terms only:

Book itself did not help passing the Exam 70-298. It is limited to just a theory. Exam requires a practical knowledge, not a theory. This book gives a concept of Security which is quite useless for the Exam and an actual configuration.

Horrible Book:

This book does an atrocious job of preparing you for the 70-298 exam. There are entire topics missing and tons of wordy fluff that seem intended to merely fill pages and make this book heavy. It's practicaly worthless as an exam prep tool. Besides that, it's absolutely boring. I guarantee you won't make it past the first two chapters without snoozing. You're much better off merely browsing Microsoft TechNet for free.
