Summary: Really works
Review: This book really works. It takes some time and effort, but it is worth it. I almost quit after about a week of doing the exercises because I didn't think they were working, but I decided to stick with it. I'm glad I did. In three weeks I have gone from 300 words a minute up to 630 with better comprehension also. I believe I will continue to improve as I do these exercises. It takes about one to three months of practice to really get permanent results.

Summary: Excellent!!
Review: This book was one of the best that I have read in the field of speed reading. Unlike various other authors (like Berg and the Wood program) this gives CLEAR and conscise step by step instruction. I found improvements in my speed and comprehension.

Summary: A MUST BUY!
Review: This book will really improve your reading skills. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever recieved! I recieved the book 1 week ago and already I can see the improvements. It takes you through step by step, from "why you read the way you do" to "how you can improve." I have not read any other books on speed reading but this one works for me so it's a WINNER!

Summary: This is a great course!
Review: This is a great course in a book - I wish I had taken it while in school. My reading and studying would have gone much faster and better. It was so easy, it only took a few weeks, and now I'm reading more than twice as fast with better comprehension in pleasure and technical material. It was important to me that the author covered the entire field of reading from increasing comprehension to speedreading, from history to perception, and from fiction and religious reading to technical reading and study and test-taking methods. This information allowed me to see not only why I was reading the way I was, but gave me the motivation to improve my reading speed and more important, my comprehension. Also, Rick the author, tells you about the techniques used in many other methods, and how and why over the years he evolved and uses the natural, simple approach he does. He starts you with comprehension first, and then gradually increases your speed. I really like Rick's approach, which is having me practice in my own materials and then encouraging me to go out and learn more about reading and speedreading. Plus, Rick cites many other authors and books and he gave me all the resources - he made it very easy since he included a full bibliography and index. This course is very complete! I highly recommend this book, Power Reading, to everyone if you want to speedread and remember more.

Summary: It's reality
Review: This is the book to make you read faster but not the book to make you read as fast as you turn the pages. Because I've tried that kind of book before and it doesn't work for me and I think that's exaggerate and impossible especially when you have to read computer technical books which need to translate source code line by line. In the different way, this book locates your nature of reading and points out the bad habbit that you need to change and also things you need to do when reading. I'm quite satisfy with the result I got.

Summary: Best book available
Review: To put it bluntly, "Power Reading" is one of the best courses on speed reading and comprehension available. I can't say that I doubled my speed or anything like that but then again I was considered a fast reader before reading the book and doing the excercises. Still I moved from 450 words per minute to just over 650. The information is up to date and if you follow the instructions exactly then you can achieve a gain in speed and comprehension whether you are a slow reader or already a fast reader. It was fast, easy and effective, what more could you want from a course such as this? It takes thirty days to complete if you follow the book exactly. Whether you read for business, school, or pleasure, the book is highly recommended for anyone wanting to increase their speed and/or comprehension.

Summary: Great for a student!
Review: Your Power Reading course has greatly improved my reading speed and comprehension. I think they should adopt this program in all schools. What used to take one hour now takes approximately 20 minutes.
