Customer Reviews

The class was pretty good too..

I recently took a class with Mr. Berg at the Learning Annex in Manhattan. Seven hours long!... It was very interesting, and yes my reading speed did double within the first half of the day, and by the end of the day I was at about 800 words/minute. Mr. Berg is an extremely wise man, very enthusiastic and encouraging, and I'm glad I did take the class which gave me some practice, making it a lot easier for me to understand his ideas in the rest of this book on my own time. Only a little disappointing was the fact that in both the book and the seven-hour lecture I experienced, the focus did seem to be on studying and special techniques for recalling and the like. He was able to answer any and all questions asked during the class, and I really trust that he's very accomplished and knowledgable on this subject. I learned a lot from him and from the book. Though this book seems pretty good, but I definitely plan on checking out some others on this subject.

If you don't take the time, you will never get the results.

Many of the reviews below are from people who just got the book a few weeks ago, or that read it and thought it was junk. I just started reading the book as well but within the first three hours I doubled my reading speed. Now I only went from 200 words per minute to 400 words per minute, but it still was a great improvement, and I keep getting faster everyday. In the book the author says it will take 15-30 minutes of study per day, everyday, for 8 weeks to see dramatic results. All I know is that I am hooked and will put in all the work required. Hope this helps some of you. Thanks.

A truly helpful book for years to come!

You are not taught to just speed-read but to comprehend as well.After reading this book I have gained a real insight into how to read effectively and to comprehend more if what I have read, berg has done a great job. Berg is able to convey his message in a clear, concise manner without boring the reader.If you want to save hundred of dollars on those seminars that may or may not help, spend less than $6.00 and get yourself a copy of this book, you won't be disappointed. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to read faster and better.

This book is an excellent resource!

This book is definitely worth the money, especially compared to the price of Howard's infomercial. I noticed that I was able to put into practice his techniques soon after I started reading. By the time I reached the end of the book, my reading speed had dramatically increased. I would definitely recomend this book to everyone

Excellent replacement for relatively costly infommercial

If you've been smitten with Howard Berg's infommercial for "mega reading," and you don't want to fork out the $170 for the package being sold through the infommercial, this book is an excellent substitute. It goes through the same techniques, with practice drills, etc. My reading speed increased dramatically within a few days! Buy the book, follow its recommendations, and your reading speed will increase. Jeff Aman (amanlaw@aol.com
