In my opinion, this book covers all you will need to pass your AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator exam, from theory to practical exercises, and contains even some mockup test questions/answers! With close to 800 pages of content, it may seem a lot, but... it's nicely structured and well-written... so, no objections there!

I haven't had a chance to read all of the book, but what I did read was good. There were plenty of references back to Microsoft docs for more details. The book has helpful diagrams. It goes into depths on the topics. Some of the chapters have practice labs, where were helpful. There is also a section at the end with practice test questions.
