I havent taken the exam yet but I used this guide extensively in preparing.
I thought that his explanations were great and the overall layout of the book was good.. yes there was definitely some errata (routing troubleshooting scenario A caused me some frustration until i figured out the mistakes were HIS and they werent even included in teh errata!)
Part of my final preparation is using the official cisco press CCNA flash cards book and i have been somewhat "discouraged" by the fact that quite a bit of material was not mentioned anywhere in the Odoms ICND1 guide and is presumably "testable" as its in the ICND1 Flash Cards.... and I am referring to VLAN trunking, Acess Lists and Cat_X Cabling (which was mentioned in teh guide but i think he said "don't bother memorizing"). Fortunately I knew a lot of it because I'd prepared for the 640-801 before they changed it last fall.
he knows his stuff and i benefitted from his explanations but im sorry to say if this is the only reference you use even if you commit the entire thing to memory i dont think you will pass ICND1. I assume this is because his guide was published about the same time the test content was changed.
Good Luck.. now back to studying i just needed to vent ARGHH! haha

This is a very good book for the aspiring CCNA. I finished reading through this book, taking the included practice exams and passed the ICND1 on the very first try! The subnetting videos are very helpful, but you MUST practice. Just understanding the concept is not good enough for the exam, as you must be able to do subnetting QUICKLY or you will run out of time. The "Do I know this already?" quizzes are helpful as well for saving time. I will add that I purchased a couple of used routers (2600) and switches (2950) off eBay to practice on before taking the exam and that was helpful as well. I have ZERO industry experience in Cisco, and still felt very comfortable taking the exam with just these resources. Nice job by Wendell Odom!

Overall, I think this is a quality title. I just came here to warn buyers of a few things:
(1) There are many errors in this book. If you buy it, you MUST download the Errata document from ciscopress.com. Otherwise you will be confused. (2) This is the only book that I bought to prepare for this exam, so I have nothing to compare against, but I believe that some parts of this book could have been written much better, and other parts are unneeded. This book could be 50 pages shorter without the all the unnecessary "the following section will show you how to... blah blah blah" text. That's what the index is for! (3) This book does not progress in a very organized manner. If you are just starting, and you want something that you can read in a linear fashion, I might suggest looking for a different book.

This is an awesome book. Mr. Odom explains everything in a very simple approach. Leaving you with a good understanding of the material. The appendices are very helpful and the included Boson test engine finishes your preparation for the test. Although there were several errors on the Boson test engine but I cannot complain: The test engine is a freebie and the book teaches well enough to recognize these mistakes. Buy this book, for the main reason that it is written by one of the very first CCIEs and knows his craft. Most other books are not written by CCIEs. This is important to me. Great job Mr. Odom.
