Speed Reading is a practical and helpful guide for those of us who fall into reading slumps, want help with our concentration, or also for people who just want to improve their reading speed in general. You’ll learn to master techniques that will help you learn information quickly and with more ease.
Kam Knight teaches us the importance of eye health (yes I need to wear my glasses more 🙄), tips for memorising - like using highlights - (which many of us already do), and the reasons why our reading speed can drop. We want to ensure we are always retaining information of non-fiction books, and following and remembering the plot of fiction books etc. Otherwise what is the point of reading in the first place?
Reading has always been my superpower, I’ve always been a naturally quick reader. In childhood, I was always the one waiting for my peers at school to catch up with the latest Harry Potter or Series of Unfortunate Events novels, for example. The hobby was always there through the years, but I’ve actively been trying over the past 5 years especially, to get myself to be the avid reader I always was when I was younger again.

Od czasów podstawówki i dodatkowych zajęć Engram z technik nauki i szybkiego czytania, naprawdę nic się nie zmieniło xD co oczywiście ma sens, wiec ja nie wiem po co czytam kolejną książkę na ten temat.
Didn't expect to learn anything but it really did help!
I did a speed reading course in high school but due to my work found myself needing to increase my speed even further. It’s always good to stretch a muscle, but I’m not sure how helpful a book on the subject is without an assisted practical component. The exercises included are helpful but limited if you aren’t consistently practicing.
The title is kind of a stretch. I think that reading 200+ pages in 1 hour (which means over 3 pages per minute) is impossible no matter how much you're good at speed reading, unless you're reading a book so fast to the point where you don't understand what's written. But the book overall had some good advice, although I feel like the pre-reading part was quite unnecessary despite the author's efforts to convince us otherwise. I mean reading the table of contents, introduction, etc is just common sense, nobody starts a book without reading those. The other tips in that part however were not crucial. I'm not sure if I'm gonna be following the advice in this book since it was really headache inducing, I'm already satisfied with my reading speed, I've only read the book to gain some insight about the process of speed reading since I knew little to nothing about it.

This is a great book for anyone that wants to read faster, however, do not expect it to happen straight after reading this book. It is full of useful techniques to get you there but it does take time and commitment to learning to read faster. What I did like about this book is that it doesn't teach you to skim books, but actually take everything in
Overall it was a good book and I will continue practising the techniques and hopefully, I will manage to read faster in the, not too distant future.

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.
