I thought it was a great book for short-term memory especially for students.

It could have been a much longer and thorough book on all different aspects of memory.

Great mechanics to use... I hope it helps. HA!

Decent helps in memory are given, but I need something more miraculous to help me :) The book is an interesting read and has already begun to help my short term memory.

This book wasn't what I expected. Mr DeMar shows some techniques he has used to help him in remembering important dates, phone numbers etc. The techniques he uses are not exclusive to this book.

Helpful, more for short-term memorizing I'd say. Short and easy read. Nothing revolutionary though.
