Ironically, I did not speed read this book because it offers so much! Before Adler delves into speed reading exercises, it discusses evaluating yourself as a reader first. A very important first move. Adler also stresses the importance of being a dynamic reader. I consider myself an avid reader, but this book made several interesting points I hadn't thought of before and I regret not knowing them sooner. I haven't read any other book about speed reading, so I can't compare it to other books. It might be more of a starter book for becoming a speed reader. Regardless, I highly recommend it. There were many surprisingly useful exercises that actually work for me.If you're entering college, finally getting around to reading Moby Dick or Infinite Jest, or just want to read fast, buy this book!
