Actually this was awesome!
I will suggest to read this book with your family or with someone who enjoys math, and do fun little challenge together!!! In every chapter it talks about a specific thing and you can practice with another person! You need to practice while reading this, I did some of them, but too tired to practice all of them, so I will come back to this book once I am in energized mood.
Math is fun, if you do it correctly. This book shows the fun part.
The book teaches you how to multiply, divide, square big numbers, of course it isn’t going to replace calculators for big big numbers, but still being able to do the not so hard ones in your head is good!
I think I was expecting something else, that’s why I am giving 4 stars.
I wish I had this book in school!
I don’t know if I should recommend or no, this is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea.

On the cover the author's name is Tim Perse and at the end of the book he signs it Tim Purse. Perhaps Purse was an autocorrect.
Anyway, whatever-his-name is describes some math tricks and techniques that are supposed to help you calculate faster in your head. Not saying they won't work for you but I didn't find it useful. Occasionally I had trouble understanding what the author was getting at, and the layout of the Kindle edition is a bit confusing as it can be hard to see at a glance where one solution ends and the other question starts. Some of his solutions require a special notation that is confusing because usually it means something else. Examples: 9) , 9/ , 5³
Other times I felt like my regular way of solving that was faster and easier. Some tricks had so many phases and numbers to remember on the way to the solution that I forgot what the question was before getting to the answer and I would have had to write them down anyway to be sure I had remembered everything.
Anyway, judge for yourself. This is how the author solves 23x99:
"We bring the 3 of 23 down to one, to 22. Remember the rule, "all from 9 and the last from ten"? Well that rule applies here. We have deducted the one to give us 22. Apply the all from nine rule to 23, giving 7 and 7. Bring all the numbers together, 23x99= 2277."
Wait, what?
If I was solving this in my head I would have multiplied 23 by 100 and subtracted 23.
This is how to square 26:
"26² . Square the first, so 2² = 4.
2X first and last, (2X2) X 6 =24
Square the last, 6² = 36
So let's put all the numbers together
4, 24, 36
The last digit in the answer is 6, so add the 3 to the 4 in 24 giving 27. Add the two of 27 to the four giving 6.
You could lay the numbers out one above the other
4
24
*36
______Add the numbers
676"
I got that (I think) but if I have to write numbers down anyway to add it up I can just as easily solve 26x26 on paper the way I was taught at school.
(* is there to denote a space, Goodreads formatting didn't understand that I wanted an empty space in the beginning of the row.)
Then there is a chapter called, "Dividing by 9" which, surprisingly, purports to teach you how to divide by nine but the author seems a tad confused about what he's dividing with what.
"What better way to demonstrate this than with an example.
9/71 is 9 divided by 71."
Then he goes on to solve 71 divided by 9 which is of course very different from 9 divided by 71.
How to divide 99 by 9? His solution:
"9) 9/9
Write down the 9 from the tens under the units.
9) 9/9
**/9
____
Bring down the first 9 under the line and add the two 9's on the right side.
9) 9/9
**/9
____
9/18
Nine goes into 18 twice with a zero remainder, so add 2 to the 9 giving 11.
9) 9/9
**/9
___
11/0
Nine goes into 99 eleven times no remainder. "
My solution: I can see at a glance that 99 divided by 9 is 11.

Lightning Speed...Not so Much
We love in The Age of Calculator Ubiquitous. These "tips" are tedious and unnecessarily complex. Multiply by 99 is an easy concept but the author provides a needless multi-step process.
I'm looking for a better treatment of this topic

Intriguing Tricks
Nice collection of math techniques for multiplication and division. I can see introducing these to students as alternatives maybe in an math club or science fair. Try to get students to come up with their own tricks and why they work.

This actually seems to make math more complicated as opposed to easier.

A lot of the techniques are rather inconvenient and unnecessary to develop.
