 Boring June 9, 2010
CK (Toronto, Canada)
The book is hard to read, yet, given the dry subject of project management, it's a little bit better than previous versions. Considering how many people have received credit for reviewing the content in the book, it's mind blowing that there are still so many grammer and layout mistakes.
Since the PMI exam is based on this book, I guess it's a neccessary evil to read.
 a good start-up book for PMP prep June 7, 2010
Evgeny Voutchkov (Ottawa, Canada)
This book is a consize but clearly written with a normal English language, unlike the PMBOK Guide which is also consize but dry and with unattractive language style (I don't know what is it in PMBOK - the font, the paragraph spacing or the language but there are so many complaints of it). The content of Andy Crowe's book covers the full scope of PMBOK and even a bit more (the professional responsibility), though there is no CD with the book, only a week of free web site access (how much can one accomplish in a week!), and also there is a full text-based exam at the end of the book. So, the book seem a bit overpriced to me, provided it cost almost double the PMBOK Guide itself. Nevertheless, I would buy this book again, since it gave me the confidence that I can undrestand the PMBOK material.

I found this book not detailed on the project management topics. This is good to get a general idea of what project management is. I found that I learned more practical skills from the project management class I took at school. This book seems only useful to learn the common vocabulaity and practices for project managment for the variety of industries where project management is useful. This book seems good enough for the CAPM exam, but for the PMP, practice in the real world is needed.
