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

As title says! Which would you recommend?

Thanks

Both. Always have more than 1 book, more than 1 video series and more than 1 lab guide.

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.

I second what Cisco Inferno said, Lammle first, Odom second. Odom seems to deep dive more into things, and Lammle reads easily and seems conversational. Also agree that having more than 1 source for anything is always a plus.

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!".

For ICND1, either is fine. For ICND2, neither cover all objectives in enough depth. Boson practice exams fill the void rather well. I was able to pass ICND1 with Lammle and ICND2 with Lammle and Boson practice exams.

I only used Odom which was good enough for me.
