hey, wat's up? course you got doubts..it sure sounds too good to be true, dont it? well, the BEST way to read up on it is by growing throug the hundreds of messages on this forum....if you look at the thing on the bottom where you can choose to "jump" to a certain section, that'll tell you exactly what the course is about. plus, if you scan everything, you'll find both positive and neg comments, which should help you make your decision. Plus, if you read the book, you'll find out that it's not about reading faster...i.e. your friend will proly still read faster than you as far as straight reading goes, it's more about getting through material quickly (there's a difference..i.e. you dont gotta read everything).
book has all the info. the course guides you through it..it takes less time to learn/more practice/etc etc etc
p.s. not a "magic" trick...takes tons of practice..tho it's more fun practice, unlike speed reading practice.
