Badly Written May 14, 2011
By l001l001l001 There are many errors in this book. It is very thick but many pages are filled with useless analogies. It is badly written and does not cover many of the concepts in the PMPBOK. There are typing errors in there. The questions at the end of the chapters do not discus the more important concepts of the chapters, but rather are put there so that the author can advertise that there are more than 300 questions in the book. The main purpose for this book is to allow the author to advertise his bootcamp. This book was not very useful.
