Product Description

Review
'A light-touch romp through kings and queens, British prime ministers and the presidents of the USA, the mental recall preserve of savants or full-time record breakers, with effective and entertaining techniques... Forty-eight hours later, the information is still there. OK Paxman, I'm ready for you now!' --Sunday Express

Review
'REMEMBER, REMEMBER offers vivid, silly narratives that threaten instant party recall of all US presidents and every kind of king and queen of England and Britain'

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! The best of its kind, 6 Oct 2008
By Cesca (London) - See all my reviews
I'm a massive fan of all those books like I Before E but I have to say that this is by far the best - and most fun! I started reading Remember Remember last week and have already memorised all the American Presidents and Kings and Queens. In fact I spent all weekend reciting the list to my friends. Since I'm known for being completely useless at general knowledge, they were pretty impressed! It's really quick and easy and, a week on, I can still recite the lists so it really does work! Amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 7 Oct 2008
This book is going to change the way people learn! It's just so silly, fun and informative all at the same time.

The stories take you on a virtual memory walk around your imagination, deposing information around familiar places in order that you can recall it (forwards and backwards) after your first read. Except the information is encoded in images so that a boring and difficult name like Martin Van Buren becomes a martian in a burning van... something you will remember remember for ever!

It's such a brilliant technique I feel cheated that I was never told about it at school.

Great for adults and children alike. Particularly good as an entertaining yet 'worthy' Christmas present for someone with an imagination.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent , 17 Oct 2008
By B. W. Whately - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
amazing - this genuinely works. I am so excited by my new-found ability to learn things, that I think I might have to go back to university, or re-take some A-levels, just to find a suitable arena to show off these astonishing memorising skills. But I will be needing many more books from Ed Cooke to help me on my way - when is the next one due!?
