Well written5
I am preparing for the CCENT and CCNA Exams. I have purchased training videos to help understand concepts. I now use this book to fine tune what I need to know to pass the exam. With this book and plenty of hands-on practice I expect good results. I highly recommend this CCENT book to every new CCNA candidate. I really liked it and read it from cover to cover.

Good for quick learning4
This material is good for a quick learning process, the experience of his author add interesant points to the technical material.

Good study guide4
Thanks to this book, I've got my CCENT!

It's a very good book, though it isn't perfect. There's a few typos and editing errors, the introduction claims the CD has video and audio lessons and it doesn't, and the Chapter 8 summary appearently decribes what the chapter was meant to include but not all of it was actually in the chapter (like the Cisco Unified Wireless Solution - which was fortunately not on the test).

Despite those problems, it's a good book. The CCENT covers a lot of complex subjects, but this book makes them easy to understand and includes a lot of examples so you can drill it into your head. The written labs are hard, and really good for making sure you know your stuff and actually paid attention to the chapter. You probably should have a router or a simulation program (this book doesn't come with one) but if you have a lot of CLI experience you can just memorize the commands. If you apply yourself and really study this book passing the test should be pretty easy.
