A short read and some interesting and useful techniques, I would give some a go and see how they work.
A little bit of waffle in the book too. 3/5

I liked reading this book, but not that much. This book is useful for reading textbooks, journals, research papers. Not for reading novels, literature and fiction.

I love to read, and am always looking to increase my speed with any tricks I can find. In Speed Reading, Kam Knight breaks down some of the science of speed reading, some effective strategies, and practice drills to help you implement the strategies that work for you. I’m already almost doubling my page count in the same length of time!

Knight’s book is helpful, informative, and fun to read. He provides practical way to increase reading speed, but he does not see it as the ultimate solution to reading. He recognizes the need for comprehension by providing multiple experiences on how to retain information.

Lots of interesting techniques and I’m glad to know what speed reading really is. But not for me

That meeting could have been an email. That was the feeling I had while reading the book. An article on the topic is better spent time instead of a full book or at least that one.

There are fine guidelines that I will try with my future reading material. Too bad I started this book in a hectic period and I didn't had time to read it faster

I already consider myself to be a fast reader, but there were a few useful tips and exercises in this book that will help me take it up a notch
