 Probably the most important book that you will ever read November 3, 2009
R. Naidu (Wooster,OH)
It is a conundrum that you have to read a book on how to read a book but the author has done a brilliant job of summarizing techniques for better comprehension . I have adapted some of these techniques to read technical journals and I can testify to the effectiveness of these techniques. A must read!! I wish our school boards would have this book as a must read for sophomores and juniors in high school

you may miss every other book but not this one, it is rewarding just as it's name to teach you "how to read a book"
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book! October 13, 2009

I was browsing on amazon for LSAT prep books and I came across this particular book. How to Read a Book?! I know how to read a book.. or so I thought. I needed something to get me a higher score on the reading comprehension. Even though I didn't end up taking the LSATs, I think this book really opened my eyes up to how a book should be read. A MUST for college students. Get it earlier, and you'll have an easier time writing papers.

I recieved this book from treasurehopper in acceptable condition. I was glad to have recieved a detailed note with the book explaining the condition of the book and how to contact the seller should I need too. I would continue ordering from this seller. I recieved this book very fast and in time to read with my homework textbooks. Thanks!

I thought I knew how to read well until I read this book. This has changed the way I will read books, magazines, and newspapers from now on. Well worth the price to learn to read well.
