I read it and thought it was very good. There are only about 350 pages of real material that you need to read. The other 550 pages is mostly fluff. If you read and understand most of what is in the book the test is pretty easy. But, I would suggest at least having a router that is capable of doing some IDS functions and you should definitely load CSPM on to a NT 4.0 box. You can probably still pass without doing that, but you will find it a LOT easier if you have the CSPM application available while reading the book. It would be bonus if you had an IDS sensor as well. But, getting one is not cheap unless you know how to build one.
