This was an interesting book to read. I am an avid reader, especially of non-fiction books. I figured reading a book on how to improve my reading speed would  benefit me in trying to read more than one book a week.The book itself is only 20 pages, which is great for those who want to get to the nuts and bolts of the technique. It's five steps, and while they may seem to be the type that would cause some to slap their forehead and say 'I knew that!', most people don't use them on a regular basis when it comes to reading.Roger Brown also state an important fact. While there are some books that are ideal for speed reading like novels or super boring manuals that you have to read and get information from, there are others that you want to take your time reading like a favorite biography or a self-help book where you're studying it for the great nuggets in them. Keep that in mind when you're deciding whether to use the techniques.I did receive a copy of this book in exchange for my opinion. And my opinion is that if you want to improve your reading speed, this would be a good investment.
