5.0 out of 5 stars A truly helpful book for years to come!, November 17, 1999
Super reading secrets by Howard Stephen Berg is a book that is supposed to help increase you reading and it will do just that and so much more. Berg is acclaimed as the fastest reader in the world and this book will show you why.

Unlike so many other books that attempt to explain how to speed-read; Super Reading Secrets shows you how to focus your attention on the subject at hand. You are not taught to just speed-read but to comprehend as well.

After reading this book I have gained a real insight into how to read effectively and to comprehend more if what I have read, berg has done a great job. Berg is able to convey his message in a clear, concise manner without boring the reader.

If you want to save hundred of dollars on those seminars that may or may not help, spend less than $6.00 and get yourself a copy of this book, you won't be disappointed. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to read faster and better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Speed Reading? Not really. Test taking, almost., February 4, 1999
By A Customer
I am an undergraduate student in Electrical engineering in Purdue University and i bought this book a few weeks back. Although this book advertises itself as 'Super reading', but I think the title maybe more apt if it was 'Super Skimming and Test Question Spotting.' I do admit that skimming is one of the techniques the author discussed in his book, but those techniques are,in my opinion, only valid when: 1. You want to pass the exam ONLY, OR 2. You are reading for fun. With regard to reading technical stuff. I just tried the techniques he offered but all in vain. Technical, 'dry' materials cannot be learnt that way. Moreover even you manage to pass the exams by guessing/spotting questions, you land yourself on a very shakky ground when you do higher level course work since all those courses do depend on the material from previous courses.(And the lecturers expect you know the materials in the courses you have taken, even they were not tested in the exams.) So, Mr. Berg's 'superb' achievement by learning a subject in 7 hours, spotting the questions, ignoring materials he thought wouldn't be tested and got a B+ in that exam totally defeated the purpose of an examination. My final advice: Save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't take the time, you will never get the results., January 15, 2002
By HeyJohn (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
Many of the reviews below are from people who just got the book a few weeks ago, or that read it and thought it was junk. I just started reading the book as well but within the first three hours I doubled my reading speed. Now I only went from 200 words per minute to 400 words per minute, but it still was a great improvement, and I keep getting faster everyday. In the book the author says it will take 15-30 minutes of study per day, everyday, for 8 weeks to see dramatic results. All I know is that I am hooked and will put in all the work required.
Hope this helps some of you. Thanks.
