Asmodians Slightly biased Summary:
Although Jam packed with fruity information on Netware, This book is poorly organised. The incessant "Words of wisdom" and the authors Flaming ego tend to distract your attention from the actual content. This book requires a long attention span, and perhaps some form of Ritalin to fully digest it. Im not surprised if this book was in part sponsored by the midwest pulp association, weighing in at a paltry 1570 pages.
Asmodians Slightly biased Rating:
If your stuck in the wilderness and need to start a fire, do not have any qualms about burning this book, you will be missing nothing..
Asmodians un-biased Note:
This book is one of the only resources that covers all materials covered in the CNE/CNA exams. Thus its a necessary Evil.

Summary:
This book is some what dry, however it is concise and very to the point. I found it easy to read, and it was very factual. It goes into great detail on the telecommunications industry. A must read if you want to feel the telecommunication industry's pain.
