Rating: Summary: Great book, great reading/learning system! Easy to apply. Review: Look at the latest in reading! If you thought Evelyn Wood was speedy, get set for this system. It's clear, succinct, immediately applicable. What a bargain to change your life, save time, and cover all the reading you want to do on-screen and off.

Rating: Summary: 0 star Review: Afetr I thouroly read the book and practiced for 1 week, I concluded it doesn't help me improve my reading skills or comprehension at all. It only makes you think you do. Please don't buy the book.PhotoReading only teach you to see books, not to read books. You won't comprehend anything by seeing books. Comprehension is really about decoding. Everyone can see thousands of words at a time, but that doesn't mean he can decode thousands of words at a time. Stop wasting time PhotoReading. Try to improve your decoding speed instead.
Rating: Summary: Waste of Money, Waste of Time Review: I'd like to see proof of anyone reading at 25,000 words per minute with any reasonable degree of comprehension. There isn't any, because with the exception of a "Rain Man" like savant, nobody can. The author claims anecdotally that all it takes is practice, but again: where's the proof? Really all this book is, is a come on for the author's other products including his company's (Learning Strategies) $300 home study course or $800 lectures. If the book doesn't work, get bait and switched up to wasting more money on something equally worthless, but far more expensive. I'd like to see one of the news magazine shows like 20/20 or Dateline NBC do an expose on Learning Strategies and all their false New Age claims for tapping the "unlimited power" of the unconscious mind. The people I know who have read this book, (myself included) got nothing but frustration. Just one more instance of: If it's too good to be true-- it isn't.
Rating: Summary: READING????????? Review: A friend of mine downloaded this from imesh. he's really into this new wave stuff, so I bought the book ::cough:: The best speed reading program available costs a fortune. EyeQ by Infinite Mind or something. It's quite a small fortune, but it's REAL speed reading, with your eyes... with your CONSCIOUS mind. Evelyn Wood is the best book to start with (or any Howard Berg book) because they talk about attainable goals. Reading is a physical activity and don't let anybody tell you differently. This method is a fraud but makes you feel good. So if your self esteem is low, buy it. Otherwise, get a real speed reading course.
Rating: Summary: A waist of ink and money Review: After ready the Photoreading Whole Mind System, I practiced the principles taught for a number of months. At first, I had high hopes for this seemingly promising system. Yet, as time progressed, I began to lose all faith and hope that this system would ever work. For all of its outrageous claims, it falls far short of the mark.
Rating: Summary: Great Program of Absorbing Lots of Information Fast Review: This program is based on using the power of your subconscious mind to photograph the pages of the book. As anything else it requires practice - in this case, practice using self-hypnosis, and the power of your mind. If you don't have experience using self-hypnosis, you may get better results getting the entire program with recordings that guide you through the entire photoreading process. Part of the process involves getting into the right state of mind and photographing the pages of the book you intend to read, and the second part involves recalling the information - bringing it out of your subconscious mind.
Whether you use Photoreading system or not, you will get more out reading and absorbing the information you read, if you begin with "intention" - deciding what is the purpose of your reading, what it is that you desire to gain from reading and then first getting the overview of the material you are about to read.
There may be times when you'd like to savor the material you read, where photoreading system may help with retention and with finding your way around lots of material you desire to absorb faster, but which you still want to read in an old-fashioned way - fully immersing yourself with all of your senses into the material you read and re-living it. But, for the times when you need to go over huge amounts of material in a short period of time, photoreading can come in very handy. At first, when you photoread, it may seem that you don't remember anything that you read, but then you may be amazed when you need that information and you discover that it is just pouring out of you.
While I personally use photoreading once in a while, some of my friends always photoread every book and have become very, very skilled in using this method over the years. The bottom line is it works and I'm sure there will be times when you'll find it very useful.
