 Novice to Informed September 5, 2008
I found this an excellent book:chocked full of information for anyone from the novice to seasoned individual. A great book for the novice to learn and understand PMOs while at the same time is an excellent resource for the seasoned project manager.
Very Good book for exam preparation August 31, 2008
I just bought this book a month ago..I haven't given my exam yet but have started my preparation..What can you say more than that the exam itself is 100% from this book itself..
Good writing style that holds readers interest...
 One of the most poorly written books EVER August 12, 2008
Hands down, this is THE worst-written book of any kind, ever. My brain totally objects to reading sentences such as, "The project manager will have to be careful that the project manager does not make mistakes that will make it difficult for the project manager to manage the project." Think I'm kidding -- hey, no one could make this stuff up. After reading three or four sentences in a row like this, I was ready to fall off my chair, or else go beat my head against the wall. And who came up with the title: "Book of Knowledge". Sounds almost religious, or else like something they'd come up with in a Star Trek movie. Sheesh. Get it because you have to, but get thee -- quick -- to additional guides to help yourself pass the PMP exam.
 Amazon is the best site (Can't say the same about the carrier USPS) August 8, 2008

It showed me the book was delivered on USPS website and I had no idea where it was (It sure had not been delivered). So I contacted Amazon and they responded to me within 2 hrs that the package might have been lost and dispatched a new one immediately. I got the book within 2 days by UPS.
3 days later I get a letter from USPS saying - We missed you (they came delivering after the UPS delivery) - Really bad USPS service. And This hasn't been the first time this has happened in our area either.
However Amazon is one of the best places you can shop at. I hope they maintain their customer service. Its just 5 star service.
Unreadable gibberish, and a waste of money August 4, 2008
You've probably heard that a camel is a horse designed by committee. Well, the PMBOK is such a "horse". It is badly organized, frequently laced with redundant content, and it is BORING. It reads like one of those badly-written goverment procurement specifications --- which I used to write, by the way, before I gained real-world knowledge.
An experienced reader should be suspicious of any book (such as this one) to which a human author will not sign his or her name. I unfortunately put my skepticism aside long enough to make a purchase which I now regret.
There are better books on management out there. Keep looking!
