5.0 out of 5 stars So simple! So easy! So just buy it!, 13 Sep 2001
By K. Joshi (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Reading AND Retention. None of this skimming rubbish. Self-tests, diagrams, examples, practice exercises to train the eyes and brain to take in and retain information at high speed. Excellent.

Listen - if you're reading this then you obviously have an interest in improving the speed and quality of your information intake - Buy this book - And I don't get paid for saying that. It's also got a great Mind Map and vocab section. I started at around 240 word per minute - Now I'm at 600 (after 2 weeks) and with much better recall. 1000 wpm here we come...

5.0 out of 5 stars Well presented, well laid out. Very useful book., 5 Oct 2000
The book is well structured and provides a comprehesive look at speed reading. Inaddition it gives an insight into other topics such as memory retention and vocabulary. On the principle subject of speed reading it is excellent. It should provide anyone with an effective way to increase reading speed with the minimum of time and effort.

2.0 out of 5 stars a book to explain one simple idea, 9 Sep 2002
By A Customer
I read all the other comments before I bought the book, I hoped that my reading speed would increase as much as the others claimed. However I must say I am very disappointed. I have read most of the book now, and I also followed most of the steps faithfully, but my reading speed hasn't increased significantly at all. I really want to know how the others did it. All this book has taught me was to read more words in one "visual fixation", and avoid looking back. To me this is common sense, but somehow the book made the same idea sound 100 times more intellectual and innovative. I think it's basically the same thing, and you don't need to purchase a book to tell you that.
