cissp for dummies....thoughts?

have started reading with this until my conrad book arrives, anyone read it?
i like the style and "plain english" used for cissp terminology. Obviously not a primary book to be used.

The book is "OK" as ive read a few chapters from it;however, you will need a book such as shon harris/sybex/ or the official Guide as your main source. i highly recommend shon harris AIO.

I read the Dummies book to introduce myself to each domain, which I would then study in the Shon Harris AIO. I don't think I got much out of the Dummies book but it was an easy way to acquaint myself with the general topics.

Tried the AIO but gave up after a few pages

Reference me thinks!

I think the Shon Harris AIO is the single most important book you can have in your study arsenal to pass the CISSP.
