Good book!
I've just passed the Security+ exam. It is a great book but I also used the practice questions from actualtests.com. Good luck!

Decent but requires better practice exams
I just passed the Security+ exam, and I used this book as my primary study guide. However, I augmented this guide with a third-party practice exam, which had 3 100 question banks to go through. I also used the CISSP version of the All-in-One to expand on any topics not covered in this guide. Bottom line: about 70-80% of the questions were covered in this reference. SQL server security was not covered but was asked in the exam.
