It took me a while to finish this book but that’s not because Kam didn’t do a thorough job of teaching me how to speed read. The book is laid out well and very well written. Basically, he teaches two techniques that can be used for speed reading, of which the reader needs to choose and practice one, but around that he has lots of great suggestions about how to prepare for reading, how to break habits that slow reading speed, and probably the most helpful bit for me: how to remember more of what you read. (That last bit is basically narration, for those of you that know Charlotte Mason.) I highly recommend this book if you are like me and have too many books you want to read and too little time because you’re such a slow reader.
