Review: Speed Read by the End of the Book!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I naturally read fast because I've read over 2,500 books in 14 years so I was wondering if I could read even faster. It seems I can. With the techniques described in this book I was able to read this entire book about fifty percent faster with no sacrifice to comprehension.The modern reader is perhaps a bit distracted so Patrick Cogen explains how to put away electronics and how to turn off computers, etc. When you therefore have a very quiet place to read you can focus mostly on your reading and read up a storm.I have recently seen my sleep doctor looking over his notes about me and speed reading them right in front of me. He used his finger to trace down over the page in a way that helped him do what this book recommends and it seemed to work for him.While I was reading this book I was reading entire lines at a glance and that made me realize I was already speed reading. I've always known I read pretty fast but this book took me to a new level of understanding. I basically looked down the middle of the text on each page and was able to read super fast. I think that might work really well on a kindle but might not be such a good idea on a much wider book.Get this book and read super fast with full comprehension.~The Rebecca Review
