However, the book does little more than give someone a very basic understanding of the major topics for the exam. Perhaps the biggest fault with this book is that it is very disorganized. Many topics which are related are spread out over several chapters which makes learning the material very confusing. Some of the major topics like RRAS (Routing and Remote Access Server) are very poorly written as well. Do you hate it when you read a book and the author makes reference to a later chapter without fully explaining the point that he/she is trying to teach? There are many such instances of this throughout the entire book.

The diagrams do very little to help show the reader what the author is trying to teach. Unfortunately, the CD is just as bad. The exam questions are good practice though and I like the fact that they are not similar to the real exam. However, many people will not like this fact since the exam is the main reason they would consider purchasing the book. If you're serious about buying a book that will help you learn and pass the 70-216 exam than look elsewhere. If you are a professional with experience who wishes to prepare for the exam, you will find this book lacks detail. If you don't care about long term learning and just wish to pass the exam this book may help you.
