Great advice packed into such a great book
Although I must remind you that you must have patience. I've been applying these techniques for about 3 or more months. These techniques can be applied in 3 times less the amount of time. Read and do the exercises, they're more important than you think. Everything is well sorted out. I took a gamble buying this book, but I can say with full confidence. This book as a lot to offer. It's improved my comprehension and speed to about 1000 words per minute.

It mentions about how to gain long term retention, how to soar through non fiction and fiction text. Getting through complex material, lots of different techniques. Consults common misconceptions ect. Methods for improved. Speed and Comprehension. Critical reading. Visual reading. Sub-vocalisation.

I'm always going to back to see what other little things I can do!

Best buy. Recommended to beginners and higher!
