Angela Apr 19, 2010 10:26 PM (in response to gregsykes)I agree, each has its own advantage. I've read about a dozen books for CCNA, but Todd Lammle's book is the last one I read, I did regret for not reading it earlier. Lammle had a casual way of writing, as if he is talking to you personally.
However, if you have some foundation (already read a couple of CCNA books), I suggest Wendell Odom's book. It's the book of fun and challenge, if you want to pass CCNA easily, read Wendell Odom's book.
Best,
A

Craig BostonMA Apr 19, 2010 11:26 PM (in response to gregsykes)I have read a bit of both authors & Odom is more full on & it feels more technical, whereas Lammie's writing seems more relaxed & easy going, not too sure which book is best though. I have heard alot of people say that to start out you should read Lammie & then further your knowledge with Odom. I did enjoy the Boson test that comes with Odom's book, does Lammie's book have a test/sim CD with it? I can't remember if mine did.

Bharat C P Apr 21, 2010 12:21 AM (in response to gregsykes)Thank Greg i really appreciate you have taken our advice... some people just ask for the sake of ask... and make us look ordinary...by making up their mind... before..... they make up their mind before the query trying to cheat themselves..... and that paste of your order is really good.....Nice one dude good job......Do not think it will be an over load... it would not kill you if you get more practice.... And if you are just starting.. my advice would be to start with Todd Lammle.... finish it... and then go to Wendell Odom. I would say Wendell Odom should be last....Nice one..... i hope you really pass with flying colors... God bless you.....
Thanks
Bharat

David Richards Apr 21, 2010 3:37 AM (in response to gregsykes)I wouldnt worry about being "ccent overload" as long as you keep moving forward you should be fine. I have a little saying, not sure if i picked up from some where but "you can never get all the facts from one book.
I am sure the more sources of information the better it will help you understand certain topics.

Tryn_since_640-407 Apr 21, 2010 12:57 PM (in response to gregsykes)I suggest CBT Nuggets Subnetting before any books. Hrmpfh. That way it makes the Sybex Lammel more effective and gives you some confidence. But I agree that Sybext first but then I would use Packet Tracer and then Exam Prep and finally Odom when you are ready to prepare for the exam.

(I would have voted for Wendell!)
