Not a great book but good to start

Frankly speaking I haven't read the book completely or I should say I have not read any CISA book in depth. I however did try some CISA practice questions(thanks to my generous friend-Anu) and managed to clear the exam. I only had this book for reference and I wasn't very happy with the content. It gets too dull/bland at times. Some parts (business continuity/IT governance) is interesting but overall I would say keep this book for quick reference. I cannot recommend any other book ''coz I haven't referred to any other book.
If you are planning for a CISA, do do give loads of practice questions. I would say it takes time to get into a security professional's shoes and think like him/her.(I am from a s/w development background and have only recently entered this field..oh yeah you can call me a kiddo here!)
Something that might boost your confidence if you are someone liek me who just gives the paper with least prep: For 98% of the questions, it takes only about 5 seconds to boil down to two choices. then you gotto think!
It's not an impossible task to clear this but takes a little bit of focus/concentration.
Good luck!

Far too expensive for its quality.

I do not counsel you to buy this guide.
It is extremely expensive, and it is not well written.
It contains lots of information written without much logical connection, and that makes it difficult to follow.
ISACA relies on volunteers to write this manual, most probably assigning a few headers to each one and possibly without much further edition, and the result is quite chaotic.

You'd better do by buying for example the "CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor Study Guide by David L. Cannon (Paperback - Mar 24, 2008) for a mere 38 USD.
