 Too wordy, too hard, not useful May 14, 2008
Rita's book has jokes, stories and unrelated non-senses. On top of that, the practice questions are hard and complicated. If you just want to pass the exam buy something else (like Crowe's)
 Thorough, but opinionated May 12, 2008
The good: it's thorough and covers more material than a number of other prep books out there. There is material covered here in depth that isn't in the PMBOK. The author does have some good explanations for the PMBOK content that, if you can get past the author's patronizing tone, can be helpful.
The bad: it's full of Rita's opinions on what you should do and it reminds you that the reason no one knows the full title of this book is because she's good at relationship marketing. There is material here that isn't in the PMBOK -- material which I found confusing and, at times, contrary to what was in the PMBOK. I hated the attitude of the author, found the "games" to be insulting to my intelligence, and found that I was better off just reading the PMBOK.
Not quite a must May 10, 2008
Hi Guys,
For those of you who intend to take PMP in the near future, I would say this is "NOT" a "must buy" book. Rita helps, but the hype you see in some of the reviews is just irrelevant. I was probably amongst one of the youngest professionals to have successfully cracked PMP which made it even more tough for me to deal with the questions in the exam. All you need is PMBOK, Crosswind plus maybe Rita( you can substitute this book with any other PMP book), with a thorough inside-out knowledge. Bingo!!You can crack PMP!!

 Great as a Textbook May 10, 2008
I used this as a textbook for the PMP Exam Preparation course at a state university. My students liked the reference to the PMI PMBoK (R) pages and the exam like questions at the end of each chapter.
 Mulcahy's PMP Prep Material is Great May 1, 2008

I used this book and the CD to study for the PMP exam. Together, they provided enough information and practice to pass the exam on the first try while overviewing project management principles. Great combination - recommended for those who are serious about pursuing this career path.
