It you have the will power...,
By
This review is from: Triple Your Reading Speed (Mass Market Paperback)
As self help books go, this title seems dated to me. There are lots (and lots) of comprehension texts with multiple choice questions to test your initial speed, and subsequent improvement, but not much in the way of substance on technique.
After a couple of comprehension test (33 pages) there is a chunk of the book explaining about why people read slowly (48 pages), followed by a series of "drills" (44 pages). These two sections form the bulk of the interest and learning in the book. What remains beyond this are loads (260 pages) of confirmatory exercises to test your newly found reading speed. I think the book would benefit from beefing up the interesting 96 pages in the middle with diagrams, explanation and experimental evidence to be a bigger portion of the reading. There are also trivial explanations of how to calculate words per minute, how to perform well in tests and how to make a "time-tape" all of which seem to be from 1970-something before the age of calculators (if required), common exam techniques (eg. multiple choice) and the invention of the stop-watch?! As for improving my reading speed, without someone forcing me to keep repeating the "drills" I don't think I would be close to doubling let alone tripling it.

Finally real speed reading techniques,
By SuperConnected - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Triple Your Reading Speed (Mass Market Paperback)
Most speed reading books are on skimming. I suggest you toss anything out that expects you to skim. Some will say "how to read a book" and basically tell you to look at chapter titles and headings and then skim over them quickly - toss those books too.
This book has real techniques - several. It handles sub-vocalization, covers widening your vision, reading 2 lines or more at once, handling your eye movement, techniques like a two stop method (I won't explain here as it is his own), and more. I collect speed reading techniques. They are very hard to find. Most speed reading books do not have them. I feel like I hit gold with this book. It has many. I think this guy wrote a decent book because he's been doing it since the 1970's and has been focusing on collecting techniques. Forget the other books, buy this. You will read much faster and have many different "real" ways of doing it. You can pick which you like best and adopt that method. Don't skip this book, it's gold. 51 of 51 people found the following review helpful:

Great Results!,
By Filip Radopoulos Marnellos "Phillip Pandelis ... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Triple Your Reading Speed (Mass Market Paperback)
I've read a couple of different methods to manage my wpm (words per minute) ratio and with Cutler's book I achieved the highest speed I could ever imagine. Exceeded all my expectations!!!
At first all books start with reducing all natural habits we have i.e. repeating what we read or loosing focus and concentration with a result of going back to the last word we remember and many others. Some methods tell you to skip whole sentences but grab the meaning of the paragraphs (which by the way does not help at all when studying GMAT since you miss all the desired details). Others tell you to keep reading even if you get to the point that you don't understand what you read... Well with Triple your Reading Speed, you start with a few easy exercises to cut down all the bad habits and then it puts you to the most interesting part were you actually start counting your self while seeing results.... Without missing sentences or words, just by widening your area of viewing. you learn how to concentrate in three parts of every sentence in the beginning of the sentence, middle and end. Then it takes you to the next level were you keep focusing on these three parts but not right into the sentence But in the middle of two and later three sentences. You actually double and then triple the amount of words by reading in the middle of the sentences and perceive the three parts of three sentences at the same time while manage to process them at the same time. You will understand how valuable it is to maximize the speed of your reading when you read your first book, or start reading all the GMAT paragraphs and remember every single detail and information. 26 of 26 people found the following review helpful:

Great techniques that you must be willing to practice,
By Iain Hackett "The CIH Group - Commercial Inve... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Triple Your Reading Speed (Mass Market Paperback)
The book contains a number of solid techniques on how to improve reading speed. It also describes a number of things that can really slow you down. There's an interesting explanation of how we are "trained" to read slowly at school, and how this manifests itself in later years through "blocks to better reading". As a newbie speed reader, it was a bit of an eye opener to realize how many ways you can subconsciously slow your reading down. The good news is that they are fairly easy to recognize, although I can't attest to how easily they are to overcome.
I also liked the techniques given regarding how to preview reading materials to improve your comprehension and retention of the materials. I read the WSJ every day, together with lots of business magazines and many books, so it was good to understand a few simple techniques that I could put into practice immediately. The bulk of the book contains reading exercises and tests to both improve your speed and comprehension, then later quantify it. I'm pretty analytical, so this facet of the book was particularly appealing. All in all, a great resource. The one downside is that you really need to practice the exercises to get the best out of the book. This isn't meant to be a negative comment regarding the material, far from it. Just setting expectations I guess. There's no silver bullet to improve your reading speed, but I certainly found a lot of very worthwhile "ammunition" in this book :) |
