Speed Reading Putting the Prod in Productivity Book 2 eBook Roger Brown
Having read a number of books and articles on speed reading, I can confirm that the techniques presented are helpful; but the same advice can be found elsewhere for free. Furthermore, if I had not already had some experience on this subject, I would have questioned the writer's advice based on errors in statistical information that he presents and his questionable choice of representative books(for those interested, below I expand on these accusations). When I find errors in things I know about, it makes me question those things that I have to take the writer's word on. And how can I convince myself to put information into practice if I feel I can't trust the information?----
Statistical errors and questionable "standard" books
The writer says that average readers can read 200-240 words a minute with 70% comprehension. I can buy that. Not only does it sound reasonable based on my own reading experience, but the claim comes from studies done by others. So far, so good. But then the writer makes the mistake of coming up with his own statistics. It is here that things take a turn for the worse.
The writer calculates that the above 200-240 words equate to one or two pages of a book. Doing the math, then, the books he reads must average between 100 - 240 words a page. Doubt arises in my mind. I don't think we read the same books. The books I read average 300-400 words per page. But whatever. To each his own. Let's assume that we merely have a different taste in books. I can accept that. It is what happens next that comes across like fingernails on a blackboard. Based on the above numbers, the writer deduces that it must therefore take 10.5 hours for the average reader to finish a 250-page book.
What? If your average reader is reading 1-2 pages a minute, that's 60 to 120 pages an hour. In 10.5 hours that reader could blow through 630 to 1260 pages. So why did it take so long for him or her to finish a mere 250 pages. The only thing I can guess is that the writer has taken to heart the tale of the tortoise and the hare, and assumes that, seeing the finish line in sight after only 2 hours or 4 hours (depending on which of the writer's books the reader has chosen to read), the speedy average reader will decide to lie down and take a nap. The reader will then wake up refreshed 6 or 8 hours later and finish the book. Meanwhile, a slow, plodding tortoise of a reader, who takes up to a whopping two minutes to read one 240-word or less page, will have finished the same book in less than 8.5 hours.
But for argument's sake, let's say that the writer got mixed up and meant to say the average reader could read one page every 1-2 minutes, which would mean 400-480 words per page. Still, 10.5 hours of reading would put the reader over 300 pages even at 2 minutes per page. Any way you slice it, the numbers just don't add up.

Speed Reading Putting the Prod in Productivity Book 2 eBook Roger Brown Reviews
Very quick read, only a couple of pages to go through, I didn't even need to put it on my eReader!
All in all, none of these tips really helped me. I think it's because I already read fast enough and I was looking for more than basic tips to get me to read even faster. The tips he provided seemed really un-useful for me and even tedious to execute. It's probably more recommended for people who are not even "fast" readers. I was a bit disappointed since I thought this book would cover some more advanced techniques that would speed me up, not slow me down. The techniques the author covered could really actually slow me down if I followed them the way he wanted me to.
[I won this book for free through a LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review]
This was an interesting book to read. I am an avid reader, especially of non-fiction books. I figured reading a book on how to improve my reading speed would benefit me in trying to read more than one book a week.
The book itself is only 20 pages, which is great for those who want to get to the nuts and bolts of the technique. It's five steps, and while they may seem to be the type that would cause some to slap their forehead and say 'I knew that!', most people don't use them on a regular basis when it comes to reading.
Roger Brown also state an important fact. While there are some books that are ideal for speed reading like novels or super boring manuals that you have to read and get information from, there are others that you want to take your time reading like a favorite biography or a self-help book where you're studying it for the great nuggets in them. Keep that in mind when you're deciding whether to use the techniques.
I did receive a copy of this book in exchange for my opinion. And my opinion is that if you want to improve your reading speed, this would be a good investment.
"Speed Reading" by Roger Brown may be the most valuable 10 minutes I've ever spent reading! He has distilled the primary factors that work from a number of other Speed Reading courses, and presents the five simplest and most productive steps in this short and simple booklet. In addition to telling you the five productive steps you can take to speed up your reading, he also provides tips about when NOT to try speed reading!
I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't done it myself, but just spending a few moments reading this book has already shown results in my reading speed, without sacrificing my comprehension of what I've read! I'm a believer. Try this for yourself. If you follow these five simple steps as explained by Roger Brown, you too will see an improvement in your reading speed. In fact, I was reading faster BEFORE I even finished the book!
What really sold me on the whole deal was the fact that among his five steps he described several things I already knew were slowing me down! Distractions were probably my number one issue, and I knew it was not at all uncommon for me to re-read a single page 8 or 10 times while I was being distracted by something. His solution was really quite basic get away from the distraction! Duh! But it sure has worked.
I will reiterate; reading this book was probably the single most valuable 10 minutes of my life. I highly recommend this book for everybody who reads!
The book had great tips on speeding up your reading. Plus it didn't take long to read the book. This book will totally help me achieve my reading goals for this year. Thanks!
