I did pass first time, 2008-11-18
I am very happy with this book. I had registered for a review course ($995), but the course was canceled due to low enrollment. I considered enrolling for another review course, but I thought I would give self-study a shot first.I read the PMBOK and it seemed as though I was reading a foreign language. This book was the only source I used other than the initial read of the PMBOK. I think I was more confused after that, but this book really helped. It wasn't an overly dry read, and it really seemed to key in on important issues that you face on the test. As the name states, I did pass the test on the first try, using only this book, and I saved $995 off the price of the review course I had registered for! I am so glad the course was canceled! I would highly recommend it if you have the time to study on your own and want to save $$$. Try this book!

The PMP Exam: How to Pass On Your First Try (Test Prep series)

Excellent resource and prep book. The web site is a great addition to the printed material. The practice exams help you focus learning on areas of weakness. The book helps make following PMBOK logical and simple. A great study aide!

Worth it but a caveat..., 2008-11-11
The proof will be in the pudding when I sit for the PMP next week. So far, I have found Crowe's book to be well worth the cost, which I have studied in conjunction with HeadFirst PMP. It's not too text-bookie, written in a relatively casual style, especially in comparison to the PMBOK.

One of the best on the market for the topic, 2008-11-10
The best! This book is concise, to the point and covers most of the material. Has a very intuitive way of explaining how outputs from one process flow into inputs of the next process. Without this book I would have never understood the flows. The book gets the job done i.e. If you read this book and follow the author you will pass the exam on your first try. Unlike other books that are just an expansion of PMBOK or insult your intelligence this book is an easy read and covers all the material that you need to pass the exam.

Why a 4 star review? There are some mistakes in this book. e.g. the author confuses PERT and 3 point estimate as the same thing. Also, the book overlooks details of Organization Process Assets and Enterprise Environment Factors as "common inputs". They are crucial to understanding the initiation and closing of a project.

I had the luck to discover this book, 1 month previous to the exam, 2008-10-24
I can recommend this book and even the price seems high than other books around, It made a siginificant contribution for my exam that I passed yesterday!!. It was easier to understand the concepts of the PM Book with the examples along the book. I had the chance to review it in 4 weeks previous to my exam and it helped me a lot!!!
