After reading the previous review I felt compelled to offer my view.
This book uses some of the same principles as the "Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics" (tm) program.
If you want to increase your reading speed, this is an economical alternative to taking the course.
I have purchased and read this book and the principles taught are sound (i.e. they work if given a chance). If you would like to read 1,500 words per minute or more then get this book or one like it and practice, practice, practice.
I hope this helps.

I wish I would have had this book when I was in college. I don't have time to follow audio courses that are available, so this book fit the bill. While I have not compared this speed reading book to any others, I found that it presented the information in a concise, organized way. The tips on tackling different types of reading are dead on. I highly recommend this book.

Thank god I got this at the library...and took it back the next day. This book had the nerve to even suggest reading backwards as a time saver. Not even worth pulling off the shelf. I have looked at several speed reading books and this by far is the worst...pure garbage. Check it out for a good laugh!
