This is a an unbelievable book,why didnt they teach us this at school? because we would have all the course material finished by the age of 9 !!

Since beginning this course my reading rate has tripled and my retention has improved quite significantly,you must be willing to put in the work but with this book to guide you the results will be astounding.Top stuff.

excellent guide..

ok firstly, id like to say that this is a great book, however it is not magic and you do need to put in the hours to get results (as with most things worth learning i suppose) .. this is my first effort at trying to improve my reading so unfortunately i cannot compare it to any of the other books out there but I am very happy with what i have. not too much waffle and he explains the exercises well so you really understand why youre doing them.. (some of the things may seem a bit mundane if you dont see the context of why it is youre doing them and what it is youre working on - e.g. reading and rereading the same passage numerous times, practicing strange hand movements to guide your eyes along the page etc) but his reasoning is pretty sound and so far they are working. ( i am about half way thru the book, have easily doubled my reading rate and improved retention for a similar text compared to when i began the course.) now this may seem pretty good already and that alone would have been worth the price to me, but when you start this book,it does honestly make you realise how much you can potentially improve so long as youre willing to put in the hours....

LEARN TO SPEED READ
~ Written on Feb 4, 2004. 15 out of 15 users found this review helpful.

If you want to learn to speed read in around 6 weeks then this is the book for you. However practise makes perfect and you must be prepared to put in the time and work. The pracise tasks are simple and fun to do as you are reading your chosen texts. The book does state that you will be a competent speed reader after the 6 weeks it will take you to read the book. You can take longer if you wish as the more time you put in to practising, the more competent you will be at speed reading. This book does exactly what it says on the tin. All you have to do is choose some books that you have always wanted to read, sit back and start the course.

Fantastic

The book has already made a big difference to my reading, and I've only got one sixth through it! You do need to put in the time to do the exercises, but it's well worthwhile. And there isn't a lot of waffle at the start.

Speed reading manual with exercises- brilliant

I've read several books on speed reading and this is the best. It gives an easy to follow structured series of exercises with lot of options for you to find the best one for you.

Buy it today - you'll not regret it!
