I am a fast reader though but they say no knowledge is lost. I appreciate that the author considered how to fast read a book a topic to write on because I know people who find speed reading difficult. Wonderful review, welldone!!!

I actually took a speed-reading class in high school (a thousand years ago). The skill I learned has been useful, but I am happier when I can take my time and savor the rhetoric of a great book.

This does not work for everyone. Some like to read at their own pace and way of understanding. I’ll like to know what the book has for its readers.

Most reviews I've read highlight many positive sides of this book. Though I am not a fan of speed reading, I like that the author shared value in the book.

With the amount of books that are available to be read learning to read fast and comprehend the messages being passed would be a superpower. I look forward reading it.

The title says 'Speed Reading'. It is simply showing how Speed Reading works. It is not written to prove why it must work for everyone. Everyone is expected to choose whatever method they feel comfortable using to achieve their reading goal.

The book is a great one that gives good insights on how to read fast. It is nice to learn how to read and comprehend fast. It will always come in handy as we will not always have the time to read slowly or at an average pace.

I don't enjoy a book when I speed read. Taking my time and pace makes me assimilate and savour little and big details in a book. Thanks for the great review.

I don't really believe in the concept of speed reading. I prefer to read and digest a book slowly which always equals better understanding. Anyway, it wouldn't hurt for me to read this book. Great review.

This is a hack that I have been looking for. I hope the strategies are going to work for me. I also like that the strategies can also be adapted to screen reading.
