H.I. Review
It's a good book, very thorough, but with a lot of typos, some of which are confusing. Other than that, I'm learning a lot.

Not for the beginning Inspector
I used this book as a text to getting certified and my foot in the door to starting my own business. Thank Heavens I have a fair amount of background in many of the fields already. The author strikes me as someone who used a filing cabinet of notes and articles to assemble a book without refining the thoughts before they went to press. I was disappointed that a school would choose this text for it's students. Despite that, and the typos, some good information can be gleened from it's pages.

Solid foundation but not covering all details
this is a good book to start with but the problem is it tried to cover everything in just 1 book. if you really want to become a professional home inspector you definitely need to read more on each individual topics (HVAC, Plumbing etc). but as a textbook for the prelicensing course of home inspector this book is ok.
