lallous:

I heavily recommend the course, but there are a few things I should mention:

1) If you are ordering because of the infomercial, please know that the photoreading process is only a SMALL part of the entire learning system. You most likely won't get to the level Pete was at in the infomercial very soon, and to be honest spontaneous activation hasn't happened to me yet. Most of the process is acivating the book, and depending on the material you are activating, this will still take awhile. (Albeit much quicker than reading itself, with better comprehension).
2) The tapes are vital. Do NOT skip on the exercises, and follow ALL the steps. I'm CRAWLING through a novel right now and I'm convinced it's because I skipped a step involving trigger words.
3) Keep an open mind. Asking yourself "Is this really working" as you're photoreading is NOT a good thing to do, as it's distracting and will throw you off (READ: MAKE IT NOT WORK)

You can get through articles pretty quickly, as well as non-fiction material besides Logic. Novels, leisure reading, and Logic stuff involves Rapid Reading, which (though some may argue with me on this) is much slower than the other types involved in the system. You *can* photoread a novel in 5 minutes. But that won't do anything unless you activate it, and if you want to really know it (read: for a test) you will also have to prepare and preview.

With that being said, my experience is that the system is excellent. But it will still take effort, and if you get bored easily you're going to have to try harder, as a very large portion of the system is deep relaxation.

Remember, if you don't like it, you can always return it.

Good luck with the system (it works wonders),
