Very organized and well written. The authors don't try to impress you with their knowledge like so many do. Rather, they approach the subject matter from a beginners point of view. Easy to understand for someone with minimal IT experience yet comprehensive enough to pass the SYO-501 exam. Each chapter lays a thorough foundation for the next. Notes in each chapter help you know what is pertinant to the exam. If you are just interested in the CompTia Security + certification, or are considering obtaining the CompTia CySA + certification, this is the right book for you.
