How to Read Better & Faster
G**I
Better than How to read a book.
I had been had trouble with reading especially examination like LSAT. I needed to read pages in limit time with more accuracy. So I searched lots of books teaching art of reading. But no one satisfied me. Finally, I found this book, masterpiece of reading skill. You know that there are many good material about this article, like How to read a book written by Mortimer Adler. It is great one. You have some problem however if you try to apply skills introduced in the book. In this sense, How to Read Better & Faster by N. Lewis is practical and Real. It teach you and let you know how to read book more quickly and more precisely through numerical and visual means. Now I figured out what's the problem and solutions. Thank you N. Lewis.

Meat and Potatoes of Speed Reading
This book to me is like the meat and potatoes of learning how to speed read for me. It does an amazing job at giving perspective, focusing you on what you should be practicing as you go through the chapters, plenty of opportunities and repetition for practicing the different drills as you put in the effort to improve, tracking your progress as you go. Very encouraging, but also doesn't let you coast, forcing you to push past what you thought your limits were, which is probably what I liked most about this book. The only thing I would recommend, if you haven't already, is to first read a book that covers the basic concepts/practices of speed reading to get familiar with them (for me, that was Essential Speed Reading Techniques by Katya Seberson), then let this one take it from there to let you practice the techniques you learned in the starter book, plus what this one says. There's no real new knowledge, it's just doing the work over and over, constantly trying to improve, and being reminded and encouraged to keep going, and also tracks your progress. Not enough good things I could say about this book, other than that I love, love, love it for how it's helped me to get better and understand how to read faster and better.

Very Good
The book is very good on explaining speed reading, and other techniques. I own two other books, which are good also, but I put this at the top. The author has included a lot of exercises, which are needed to make any speed reading course successful. The book is not your standard small paper-book size, but a large one, indeed it is.I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their speed reading, and comprehension skills; especially to EM from New Jersey who gave it a 1 star.dwdraw2

Mismatch between fixation card and print
There seems to be a size mismatch for an important part of the book.You get a fixation card with some arrows that should match up with the print of the book.However, I think the book print was split in 2 columns or the print was made smaller but there is a mismatch between where the arrows on the card should point to.

Real time saver!
I am sold out on Lewis. Loved his vocabulary building books. This one is no exception. Don't be discouraged by the simplicity and repetitive nature of the exercises. Go through the whole program, and you will see your reading speed slowly, but surely, improve.

Helpful.
I have been reading this book for 7 days. At initial stage my wpm was 195, now which is 315. I am amazed with this book and also I will refer this to anyone who wants to master in reading and comprehending. I am giving 4 star because it is not soo much handy... The ratio of vertical to horizon is awkward....
