Would you suggest Todd Lammle or Wendell Odom for a CCNA book?

I would start with Lammle though, then review with Odom. some say the other way, but it doesnt really matter as long as you engage both.2019 Goals

Also agree that having more than 1 source for anything is always a plus.Have: CISSP, CISM, CISA, CRISC, eJPT, GCIA, GSEC, CCSP, CCSK, AWS CSAA, AWS CCP, OCI Foundations Associate, ITIL-F, MS Cyber Security - USF, BSBA - UF, MSISA - WGU

I'll agree with this: Lammle is very easy reading, but the detail is lacking. Odem is the complete opposite; loads of detail, but heavy reading. As suggested, use both, and them some.
For me, I plan to be over prepared when I go for the exams, as I can't afford to fail. Or to quote... "Failure is NOT an option!".No longer an active member -
