This very small volume did not offer anything new to the concept of speed reading. I want to read faster because I love to read and never seem to have enough time to read everything I want to even if I read a 250 - 300 page book in one sitting at my current reading speed. Apparently I already read fast enough. This book would be handy to improve the reading speed of people who moves their lips mouthing words as they read or for someone who struggles with comprehension. For me, it did nothing.

It took me 28 minutes to finish this book.
Not too good not too bad huh.

"Speed reading"
The best part about this book is the first page of "Chapter 1 - 17 ways to become a better reader" and that's it, THE END.
Rest is all skylarking. If you like tomfoolery keep flipping pages.

2 stars for the insights. I would have given the book a 1 star if not for the reading speed assessments at the end of the chapter.

This book should have just been titled: "How to read". Everything about this book is basic. Not recommended at all. But thank you book for the sources at the end.

A very short book.

It doesnt give you tips on how to read faster, it just points out, what are the things that we need to take care when we read or want to read faster.

The book gives simple advice to increase your reading comprehension. Practical and easy to understand, but you really could’ve attained the advice from reddit instead.

Ok book.. not much helpful

[Deepak Singh Bisth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short and informative.

This book should be the first to be read in the journey of reaching a faster reading speed, because it mentions a lot of steps which might seem very insignificant but are very important for the beginner. Although I am beyond the beginner stage but would like to come back again and again to this book to remind me of those basic steps.

Increasing my reading speed has always been something I've wanted to do. Now I feel I have a clear cut way to doing so.
