Format:Paperback
This is one of the best books on speed reading around.
I had been on a speed reading course recommended by my secondary school - which I now know was a complete scam, and ended up costing my parents about a thousand pounds! I would advise everyone to read this book - at the price it is a complete bargain.
The author guides you through the different ways to increase your speed as well as your comprehension. The underlying argument of the book is that we are not taught how to read past our early childhood, which means we read inefficiently - word for word. With practice this can be corrected, so your speed and comprehension dramatically improve.
I could write here that my speed when up 5 times or whatever, but that isn't the way to look at it. Rather the book has given me the tools so that if I want to I can read up to 3000 words per minute, or read harder material at 500 wpm. The whole point is that the speed you read at is dependent on the type of material being read, and the aim of reading (memorisation, or just for fun for example).
So what are you waiting for - buy it!

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.

Format:Kindle Edition
Whilst this book serves it's purpose well, it is ridiculously over-priced for a Kindle book and there are more recent books that are much cheaper. This book assumes many things about the reader, whilst newer books are either aimed at those wishing to learn how to speed read, or to continue the development of pre-existing speed readers. In short, over-priced and out of date.

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. Read more

Great book!
The first book I have seen on rapid reading that explains the underlying principles so that I could actually believe rapid reading is possible!
