Customer Reviews

Great book!

Explanations of complex terms are simple and easy to understand. Book is layed out well with multiple choice questions after each chapter and other questions and explanations for good comprehension. Definitely recommend this book as a great resource and prep book for A+ 4 stars because author could do a little better job at explaining some difficult concepts. Overall, excellent book.

Interesting Read

I have read about 20% so far and the author is amazingly undry for a text book. His writing style is light but packed with information and it reads fast. Unlike my other A+ book his history lessons are interesting and makes comprehending the material much easier. By far one of the best text books I have ever owned

What's so confusing?

I'll have to admit, I probably wouldn't have chosen this book at first blush simply because I had never heard of Michael Graves. However, since it was required reading for a class I'm taking, I had no choice. Unlike the other reviewer, I don't find it confusing at all. In fact, it's probably the most lucid book I've got on the subject. Sure, there are a couple of examples like the one he pointed out. What 1000-page book DOESN'T...

A great book for the A+ Candidate

I'm taking a class in PC hardware at a local college and this is the book they use. I also have Mike Meyer's book, which sucks and one by some lady named Jean Andrews, which sucks even worse. This one is the best. I think it's laid out better and I definitely prefer his writing style over the other two. I'm finally going to LEARN something. If you're doing A+, get this book.
