This short book on memory improvement techniques was interesting - Karsten has a few unique techniques and insights that make the book definitely worth reading beside books from other memory improvement authors such as Lorayne and Dominic O'Brien. His technique for using visual association to memorize German Artikel (word genders) looks like an interesting solution to a problem I had with this language for a long time. While I believe this is a good addition to any collection of memory improvement books, I feel that it could benefit from a more thorough and careful translation from German - many of the book's examples only make sense in German, as the author readily admits. Recommended.
