This book has almost as many authors as it does pages. This tells me that O'Reilly tapped into a rather large pool of talent in order to get this book written and out to the public. Something re-enforced by the blurb at the back of the book, "What if you could sit down with some of the most talented security engineers in the world and ask any network security question you wanted?" This book is supposed to be the print equivalent of doing just that (not that the book talks back, as such). 23 cross-referenced chapters produced by an impressive group of authors, editors, and technical reviewers with very interesting bios is a lot to absorb and it should be. I expect this book to include everything security-related, kitchen sink and all.
Ok, now down to brass tacks; who should read this book? Not the beginner, that's for sure. Well, it's better to say that this isn't just a beginner's book. The front matter in the book even states "...we should say that while a beginner could read this book, much of it requires a little more time in front of the computer monitor diagnosing network security matters". In other words, if you just earned your shiny new Security+ certification, you might be ready for at least portions of this book, but the majority of the content will have to wait until you've got more experience under your belt.
