Some years back I was studying for the CISSP and bought a Shon Harris video set. Given the relatively dry subjects and her teaching voice/style, I eventually got bored out. I haven't seen or read her material in quite some time, but I've since decided I'd look at other resources for ISC2-related instruction.Hopefully-useful stuff I've written: http://kimiushida.com/bitsandpieces/articles/ -

You're right: both the AIO books and the video training are full of unnecessary stuff (and presented in a hypnotizing tone, that makes me sleepy)
And I can't seem to get past the feminine presence is her books: every hacker is a "she", every sysadmin is a "she", every developer is a "she"... c'mon now

If I don't sweat it when generally every IT book out there refers to an engineer, specialist, support, manager, PM, etc as a "he," I think you'll be fine.
As far as the OP's post, don't waste your money on Shon Harris videos. She may write a good book but watching her speak about it is like watching paint peel. She has to have one of the most monotone voices I've ever heard. I would have cried emo tears if I had spent the money on going to one of her live seminars/bootcamps because there would have been no way I would have learned anything or even stayed awake.
Here's a random video of her I found on Youtube just to give you an idea of what she's like to listen to: CISSP 03 07 00 03 08 00 - YouTube -

Shon was actually quite clear, animated, and interesting in her early training videos. In her later videos she started sounding slightly inebriated and looking shell-shocked. The change in her presentation is so notable that it has me wondering what happened to her.Iristheangel wrote: »She may write a good book but watching her speak about it is like watching paint peel.
