Ratings and reviews

This book gives a good understanding of various AWS services for AWS novices/beginners. It also includes a bit of exercises and questions at the end of each chapter that pique your mind.There could have been more exercises though. This does help in preparing for the Solution Architect Exam. But do remember to go through the Whitepapers. In short, If you are a beginner or if you can spare some money, get this book.

if you read this book and do side by side handson, you can crack the exam

Still going through and will give the comment at the end.
