 Terrible March 24, 2008

Buy it used for no more than $10 (or don't buy at all), and only if you are preparing for exam. The book is terribly written, hard to read, labs hardly cover the material in chapters. It is VERY unprofessional.
 Microsoft Please Proof Read Your Sample Codes January 18, 2008

I was cruising reasonably ok on the first few chapters and quite forgiving for the few typo and bugs on the sample codes. But somehow as I went deeper towards the later chapters on WSE 3.0 the errors become more pervasive that I lost my appetite. Now, I am not sure whether I should rely on the practice test to past the exam.
Filled with errors - Does not prepare you January 13, 2008

This book really is very bad. Lots of the code samples
will not compile in C#.
I originally gave this review two stars. But after reading
all of it, I gave it one. The worse author is Shannon Horn,
who asks easy questions and is very verbose. He repeats the
same questions asked in previous questions.
Also, the C# samples have lots of bugs, syntax errors, and a
lot will not compile. Not to mention that lots of
the explanations do not cover how to use the tools.
Sara Morgan dropped the ball on this one. Hopefully Microsoft
will hire the same authors from 70-526, and 70-528 for
the next Web Service exam.
 This book isn't good January 7, 2008

Ok, it covers most of the topics.
But yikes, it repeats itself all the time instead of at least try to get a little depth. I wouldn't recommend it. Only if you are a real beginner.

especially the chapter about Web Services Enhancements is so poorly written. Many mistakes, wrong pictures and unexplained examples. Very disappointed.
