This book is far superior to the Odom book, which I also owned. This book does a great job of covering all the bases. There are quite a few typos and errata, however those problems are fixable since the errata is published. I did not see any questions on the exam that weren't covered somewhere in this book. If you study this book, and supplement with some studying of Technet, you should pass. The practice exam that comes with book is too easy compared to the real exam. Microsoft tests are somewhat vague in general, so taking the practice test that comes with the book won't hurt you. Just don't think that the real test is as easy as the practice test.
