*** I was given a free copy in exchange for my honest opinion. ***Pros:- Super easy to read - I think I finished in an hr, and I consider myself a slow reader.- There are some interesting eye exercises you might want to try even if you're not on a quest to read swifter.- A lot of the info is common sense, but it's nice to have it all in one place.Could be Better:- The book addresses two myths about what speed reading really is, but not in a completely satisfactory way. It basically presents the myth (which is interesting) but then says "it's not true" and moves on.- The title claims that the book teaches you how to read 300% faster in 24 hours, but there's no way to quantify your success.Conclusion: This is my first book on the topic so I can't compare it to many others. There's decent info herein about some basic pitfalls to avoid while attempting to read faster.
