Excellent [Posted on 2008-02-28]
If you're serious about reading faster, this is the book to get. It is very effective if you do the drills and everything like it says. Of course, that's the down side too - you actually have to WORK...

Best speed reading book on the market [Posted on 2008-03-28]
This book is, hands down, the best speed reading book on the market. It reads as a home-study course, meant to be read one day at a time, for 36 lessons. There are also practice drills to be following the daily lessons where you practice what you learn.

Yes, this might sound like a lot of effort, but the rewards are wonderful. Do you expect to just pick up a musical instrument without putting in practice time? Will you become a good athlete by sitting on the couch watching TV all day? Speed reading is the same. It's a skill you can acquire but you must put some time in, typically only a minimum of 20 minutes a day. The more you can practice, the better you'll become.

The book preaches reading based on purpose. A lot of people are compulsive and think they need to read every word of every book, magazine, newspaper, email, and document they see. Instead, think about what you need to get out of it, and only read until you've satisfied that requirement.

The author teaches you how to improve your speed, comprehension, and recall, all lessons building on the days prior. You will get immediate feedback and satisfaction within the first week of reading as you see your performance increase.

Bottom line? The book works. The author speaks in a very conversational tone and is easy to read, learn, and apply. After I completed the first half of the book, I went from 300 words per minute (WPM) to an average of 750 WPM. I fluctuated between 600 and 900 during drills, max was 998, with excellent comprehension. After completing the entire book, I now average between 1200 and 2000 words per minute depending on material. Remember, you don't have to go the same pace for everything. When you drive a car, do you take the turns as fast as the straight-aways? Of course not. My biggest excitement was seeing how much I improved day-to-day and how quick the results came.

This is an excellent book and one I highly recommend to anyone trying to improve their reading speed and comprehension.

Yes - This Works! [Posted on 2008-03-28]
I was amazed tha after reading only a few chapters, I was reading at double my former speed. The approaches presented in this book worked so well I finished one selected book in a matter of hours. Something I've never done before since I'm generally a very slow reader.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that you have to be consistent and dedicated with practice readings over a period of of many weeks & months or you'll lose the "momentum" of what's being taught. Overall though, I'm quite pleased with my progress.

Oh, and you should acquire a reliable, easy-to-operate stop-watch for the practice readings as you'll have to adjust allowed reading times regularly during sessions.

Get it! [Posted on 2008-07-24]

I've been doing this course for 1 week. I'm only up to exercise 6 and my words per minute has accelerated to 1350 wpm.
