Decent Overview 
It's a good way to find the holes in your knowledge, and get an idea of different ways to do things. I didn't use this for the test, but it was still a good overview of topics in Linux. It's definitely not as good as the more popular system administration classics.
Disappointing! 
But if you want to fail in the exam, rely on it and buy it. This book does not count for toffee.
Concise and Handy 
Excellent as a portable revision tool, but only after you have gone through a more thorough reading of a more comprehensive book on Linux. This book will get through the exam (Level I, 101), but barely, even if you memorise and understand everything verbatim. For more indepth stuff, I would hertily recommend "LPIC in a Nutshell". Costs the same and covers both Level I exams (101 AND 102) with double the material and pages.
Overall, LPI General Linux I Exam Cram: Exam 101 is very readable and can serve as a good intro to the world of Linux for those Linux gurus wannabes.
