This book is pretty bad.  There are multiple errors in it, from missing chords to incorrect chord progressions.  I have played music for 20+ years and this is easily the most poorly edited songbook I have bought.

Book is full of errors. First alphabet on page 8 is not making difference between two very different Russian letters  ( eh ) and  ( zeh ) and completely incorrectly spelling letter  ( no direct equivalent in English but definetely not like "el" in bell ). The rest of book is full of errors, small and not so small. Some sentencies are translated completely opposite of what they are actually meaning. Do not trust this book to teach you correct Russian.

This book is terrible. The word problems are poorly worded, so that it is not always clear what is required or intended (monthly vs. annual, real vs. nominal, etc.).

This book is filled with errors. For instance, in one section, the author refers to a sample jsp but what is under it is an java file instead. Then the author instructs the reader to copy the sample code for a java file but this is the jsp instead. Plus in many places, the author instructs the reader to create a directory but then a couple of paragraphs later the author is instructing the reader to save some code in an entirely different directory than the one the reader just created.

The numerous typos and incorrect answers make this book untrustworthy. It has become difficult for me to know whether I got the question wrong or the book did.

I'm in the process of sending Barron's a nasty letter. But wanted to come here first. Got this book today, have looked at it for about 30 minutes and have already found two horrendous errors. I understand that typos happen, but incorrect answers in a practice exam book are unacceptable.
page 117 - Q6 "Write 600,000,000,000 in words" -- Their A: six trillion
page 118 - Q38 Change 15.2% to a fraction -- Their A: 19/25 (Of course if 19/26 reviews of this book are bad and they think it's only 15.2% it may be why the book is on the market)
Sticker price on this book riddled with errors is $18.99 a pop (I only paid $15, but it's a waste of the $15. I would have been better off spending $6 to get the free 55 page pdf on ETS printed and bound at Kinkos.)

There are numerous errors, bad examples and absurd arguments throughout this book.  It does not teach you good C but rather fumblingly attempts to teach what the author thinks is how C appears to work on his machine.

Very disappointed in this book, I pre-ordered this book back in August knowing that it was not complete, and was happy waiting, and would still be happy waiting if they would have proofed this book.  Mind you I have only skimmed threw this book, but I have found at least 4 errors in 2 chapters.  Then there are the "tiny URLs" everywhere.  The book does not explain as much as it is sending you to places on the web.  When I buy a book I like to read a book, and I also like to have all my information right there, without having to run to a computer every other paragraph to get the full answer.  Links and sites come and go, which makes this book useless in the near future if not currently, again I have only skimmed it so links could already be gone.

I would send it back but that would cost me money.  So I am stuck with it.

So if you still are thinking about this book.
1) There are errors
2) You need a computer to reference all the links to get the full picture of what he is trying to do.
3) Good Luck!

I came across two significant errors in the first few chapters; the first having to do with the Array slice method (p. 84), and the second having to do with assigning string values to functions rather than calling the functions (p. 116). Because I had borrowed the book from the library, I was not motivated to register for an account on the publisher's website in order to see if these errors have on-line corrections. Even if they do, these errors never should have made it into print. I do not recommend this book.

The Kindle version of this book is riddled with errors.

There are so many problems with this book... I'm just going to list them:

1. Most of the meanings of the names are NOT correct and do NOT have the correct language/culture of origin.

2. Other Factual Errors: Under the named Wales it says that Wales is a country within England... um, NO. It's a country within the United Kingdom and which is next to England. That's just one of the MANY factual errors.

3. It's not really a book of many different names but a book of dozens of spelling variations for the same name - many of which are completely unusable. For example it provides Semenffa as a variation of Samantha - SEMENffa! It's a completely different (and horrible) name.  Another - Syk for Psyche. Psyche is pronounced "syk-ee" not "syk," "sike" is what you say when you trick someone, while Psyche means "the soul."

There are so many more errors within this book that I am absolutely convinced no editor read through it at all. It's a shame such a thing is even allowed to be published...

I've read a wide range of textbooks through my education.  This is probably the worst book I have read.  There are inconsistencies on almost every page.  It makes it very confusing to learn.  I've had situations where the text book is dense and its a challenge to understand and learn from it.  This book has too many errors and makes learning difficult. If you are assigned this book, read through it carefully, point out all the errors and make your teacher think twice about assigning this book.

I can't believe Pearson gets away with putting out this book with so many errors.  This book makes me livid.  I can't read one more page with so many errors.  What is sad is the teachers who assigned this book stated this is the best book out there.  I find that hard to believe.  Come now.  Anyone can write a better book than this one.

I've got several certs including CCNA, BCNE, Security+ and have read/used dozens of books to get them.  This is by far the worst book I've ever come across in terms of the number of errors.  I'm talking typos, misspellings, bad grammar, wrong use of language, broken English, errors in labeling of diagrams, etc, etc.  It appears as though it was written by a 12-year old Malaysian kid that barely speaks English (no offense to 12-year old Malaysian kids).

I'm on chapter 6 and have stopped marking the errors in my book.  I've found literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of these mistakes.  Some errors are easy to identify and move on without affecting your understanding of what you're reading.  But when there are errors in labeling of diagrams including IPs, port numbers, and VLAN numbers, how do I know if it is a typo or if my understanding is off and the diagram is correct??  It gets frustrating.

It is starting to make me doubt the credibility of the authors. One would think that one of the world's largest and most respected hi-tech companies could put out a decent book.  COME ON CISCO PRESS...YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!

Competition breeds excellence and a lack thereof breeds mediocrity.  I think since there are so few other books on the subject, they can put out a POS and no one will squawk.

The actual content is good and informative...which I guess is the important thing and the reason I give it 3 stars.  But Gee whiz, it is hard to get past multitude of errors.

I have several issues with this book:
1. Poor grammar including the use of many double negatives. Book definitely needs an editor.
2. Multiple spelling mistakes
3. Out-dated information
4. Some of the answers are just plain WRONG!
5. No rationale is given...only the correct answer is supplied.

My biggest complaint is number 4. If SOME of the answers are wrong (whether due to typo or wrong info), how am I to know that all the other questions are right? I would NOT recommend this book.

There are so many errors in this book it makes me wonder if anyone reread it before it went to press.

You realize it's not a good book when the author messes up one of the 3 ways with the wrong name of the guy.  Lots of other typos and spelling mistakes.  I don't recommend wasting your money on this book.

The book is full of errors, not only grammatical type errors like forgeting a misspelling here or there.  There are errors in the mutliple choice answers and in the explanations of the answers.  It makes me feel uncomfortable about the posibility of errors that I did not catch in the subjects I am not as familiar with.  It also doesn't cover the "teaching _____ (science, math, ss, english)" so it doesn't even touch on the last competency required in each subject.  I ended up having to use the REA individual subject book for more throrough information.  I would not recommend this if you don't have time to carefully go through and check the information given in the text.
