This book could be long, or have many techniques, but OH BOY!! It really improves! You start to apply the first techniques and you can see the difference. The author is right, we read as we were on the first gear. My main language is Spanish but I could see the speed difference reading Spanish Books And English Books. Awesome! If I only had this book 10 years ago when I was in the University, but it's OK. Now I can read faster and understand faster.Be patience because you are learning a new way to read. Your brain could say: "Hey! What are you doing?, you're reading wrong! Stop!" You maybe could have some headaches but is like when you start to run or go to GYM for the first time. But every day you see the improvement. And you want to read more, and more. I'm still practicing, and have a lot of fun.The book is well structured and the author explain in a very easy way so you can understand the techniques. You can think this book is only for professionals but I think it can work for children and teens. HAVE FUN!!

This book has a comprehensive collection of many theories of speed reading. They are very enlightening. One can apply to himself whatever helps. People have different obstacles to overcome. One program may help one person, another program may help another. I was able to find those programs that help me. This book will prove useful to many people who are seriously interested in improving their reading ability.John Bacevicius

After reading and using several techniques proclaimed by authors to be the greatest thing in speed reading, this book delivers the goods. I have long been frustrated by my average reading speeds. This book provides insights into various methods based on understanding how the mind/brain work rather than simply tauting a new technique. I now feel empowered to read/learn faster and finally feel capable of reading all I want to. For me, this book is the breakthrough I have looked for.

The book had some advice that helps with maintaining confidence even if you are reading quickly. I was originally nervous about missing information if I speed read, but the book had a large amount of evidence to support speed reading and not slow reading.

There is really no new information in this. It focuses on speeding up non-fiction reading. Basically it says, if you know what you are looking for, you can save yourself time. The really interesting thing I found in this book was the chapters on 'photoreading' which this book calls 'downloading'. Now this is a bit of hocus-pocus. Basically they say to flash pages in front of your face without reading and the pages go directly into you unconscious mind. Then you have the incredible task of 'activating' it, by essentially speed reading. I laughed at this part of the book. It would be interesting if they could prove this kind of thing. Also, the note-taking technique which they call 'mind-mapping' and 'rhizomapping' is curiously interesting. Anything which forces you to think about what you are reading is going to help you remember it. But we know all this already yes? So 3 stars from me. It's still worthwhile if you like to read non-fiction and want some techniques to speed it up.

I teach speed reading, and am working on my ownspeed reading program, and use many of the tips,and techniques that are in this book.Speed reading is just about a must now days, as moreand more information is out than ever before, and itis a problem if you can not "get ahead" of it.Note, I did not say, KEEP UP, as that is not good enoughany longer.Have you ever watched people, read books, newspapers,magazines, tech manuals, reports.........so fast, you wonderhow can they do that, and get a wee bit upset, that you can'tread like that.Well, this book will get you started reading at a faster speed thanyou ever have been able to.A persons mind holds them back from reading faster, as they think,this is as fast as I can go.That is one of the things you must get passed.I read and review a book a day.It could be two, but I also read 5 magazines, and teach speed readingclasses.So, you see........it can be done.Don't wait any longer, start reading faster.........NOW.

Very good book. Really helps to understand spd rdng techniques and improve your memory. Even more than that: it teaches how to improve your overall learning experience.The only bummer: electronic version that I bought for my kindle app for ipad is messed up: almost all images don't match the text. They appear in the book but five to ten pages behind the text.Would be great if it could be fixed and I could download the updated version.Five start for contents, four stars for electronic version.

I guess this will be an excellent book for people who know exactly what it's about, but it didn't help me that much.
