Which book to trust? (Mike Meyers or Syngress)

in Network+
I have pick up three books to study on the Network+: Mike Meyer's books (All-In-One Third Edition & Passport Second Edition) and Network+ Exam N10-003 from Syngress.

I find that the material in the Mike Meyer's books is quite simple, and easy to understand.

On the other hand the Syngress book goes into more in-detail on how things work-- almost to theory. This makes my head spin.

For example in wireless section the Syngress book covers on DSSS and FHSS while Mike Meyer doesn't touch on this stuff.

I find that I'm being overloaded with information and don't know how indepth I should cover each topic.

How indepth is the Network+ Exam?

Does it go with theory? (Eg. how DSSS or DHCP should work)

Or

More Situation questions? (If bob can't connect what's the problem?)

Which book should I trust to do well for the exam?

    If you use Mike Myers and the Technotes from this site, you will pass. That's my recco.

    Exam Cram2. You actually don't even need a book, technotes from here are the best.

    But also out of date with the N10-003 material.

    When I studied for my A+, I got Mike Meyers A+ book, but as I remembered it didn't cover all the topics properly.

    That is why I got two Network+ books this time around.
