Summary: Better than "PhotoReading."
Comment: Technically, this book and "PhotoReading" are the same book. However, this book is formatted in the style made popular by the "For Dummies" series. Combined with the dimensions of the book, this makes it much easier to follow. This version also has more details on syntopic reading.

This book isn't really about reading, or speed-reading. PhotoReading is vastly different, as it involves seeing the words with the peripheral vision and understanding their meaning on a preconscious level. While many would say this makes "PhotoFocus" a useless activity which Paul Scheele uses to sell traditional speed-reading activities as previewing and skimming, events such as lucid dreaming, spontaneous activation, and increased intuitive capabilities prove that there is something going on at an other-than-conscious level.

Summary: Major Disappointment
Comment: Since I love to read and have so many books on my "to read" list, I am always on the alert for any method that will help me read faster while maintaining my comprehension and still enjoying the beauty of a "well-turned phrase". Naturally, when I saw RAPID READING in the library, I took a few minutes to investigate. The claims of "reading" 25,000 words/minute and comprehending 3/4ths of it sounds incredible...and ludicrous. IF that were possible, I don't believe it can be taught. If someone is able to look at each page in the "photo-focus state" and retain 75% of it I think they're born with that gift (lucky them!). However, since I had been attracted to the book, I spent some time skimming the whole thing. When I had reached the end I concluded that I had actually employed some of the steps author Paul Scheele suggests; I was relaxed, interested, was looking for key words, and skimmed each page. I don't know how many words are in RAPID READING, but after skimming the book from cover to cover and taking approximately 25 minutes to do so, I believe I wasted my time. I really didn't learn anything new, especially how to "photo-focus". Actually, if you know how to skim, you know how to "rapid read". Save your money and skim the book in the library. 75% comprehension at 25,000 words per minute, you can't go wrong.

Summary: Very good book about reading/learning!
Comment: This book is real good. It's about how to read a book, with more comprehension, and less time.

How is this possible? The system works with different ways to take up information. Normally you read in one way, but this system gives your total brain the chance to help you with understanding the book.

I read a lot of speed/rapid/smart reading books, but this one is the top!

Don't focus to much on the photoreading step, yes it is important, but to much people think they only have to do the photoreading step. No, use the whole system! Then you will notice the good results.

(Rapid reading made E-Z is the same book as Photoreading) There is a course about Photoreading, but I used 'only' the book, and have good results!

So: get this book!
