Average Rating:
Rating: - a good book with interesting practical exercises
Funny examples, with an interesting racing analogy. Practical tips which will help while reading. Food for thought in many areas of our reading habits. It might not have helped as much as I would have expected, but you cannot change all your habits in only a few days span.
Rating: - Fundamental of speed reading
This book taught me how to speed read. I now feel like Neo after taking a red pill. With exception of pacers, I enjoyed everything else in this book.
I've read it as a part of Personal MBA book club. It was the very first book on the list. In the retrospect, it was an excellent idea to read it before any other books on my PMBA list.

But even still, I strongly recommend this book.
Rating: - It worked for me
10 Days to Faster Reading was definitely worthwhile reading. I am not afraid to read and consider myself a quick reader. To my surprise, reading at my normal pace, I was only at 265 WPM. This is quite average. I know that I can read fast when I have to, but I never had any strategies to follow and found myself just thumbing through the pages, retaining no information.
10 Days introduced me to multiple methods for reading faster, a few of which seem to work well with me: using a pacer, keywords/key ... Read More
