12 colleagues and I were doing the CISSP simulataneously. Between us 4 different books were ordered. I tried them all, and the difference between this one and the rest is indescribable. On numerous occassions someone would walk in pulling their out having tried to understand a topic in their book. "Can I please see your Shon Harris?" would inevitably come my way, followed by "oh right. Now I see." The CISSP subject matter is vast and it takes an amazing person to provide sufficient, well structured, well summarised, background information about a subject before delving into the security content relating to it -and then describing that in such a logical and easily understandable way. Thank you Shon. I wish you'd write more stuff.

I've just passed my CISSP exam and this book was the main source of my study. I read it twice in a period of two months, and you'll need to as there is so much information to take in. Shon Harris' style is informative with diagrams and even a touch of humor to keep your interest in some of the more heavy going areas. This differs from the official guide which is an enormous block of text. The text in the All-in-One Exam Guide is well laid out and easy on the eyes which is great on those inevitable late evenings revising. Take note of the tips and make sure you load the free CD as it is well worth the exam practice. Good Luck for your exam.

I passed the CISSP exam recently and this book was my principal source of information. Of the 10 domains in the exam, there were a few that I had no experience in, and this book filled the gaps well. It is quite readable (although some of her attempts at humour fall rather flat) and much more comprehensive that the other book I read. The tests at the end of each chapter and on the CD are useful too.
The web references can be useful although some of them are out of date. I found that they were not really necessary, though - this book covered almost everything in the exam.

A good reference point - but not the answer!
If you're reading this review, you're probably about to study for CISSP. (or you're insomniac!). If you _are_ studying for CISSP, this, or frankly any, of the large tomes on CISSP... Read more

Use it for reference
Look, everyone says that this is the best book in the world. It's not. It quite comprehensive, but that is partly at the cost of Shon repeating herself over and over again. Read more

Highly recommended
Very good book, concise and easy to read and understand. Does a good job of filling in the gaps for any of the domains you don't have experience in.
