Title: A Sham
Review: Huh. I thought I was perhaps the only person who had ever read this book...Guess not.I tried PhotoReading for an entire semester of graduate work, and I can assure you, that for serious students, it simply doesn't cut the mustard. This is not reading. It's browsing, skimming. But it isn't reading.The author seems to think that only about 10% of everything we read is of substance, and that PhotoReading will help us pull that 10% out of its environment of useless dross. It simply isn't so. The previewing and review techniques may be useful, but these are very standard critical reading skills, and have nothing to do specifically with the "PhotoReading" portion of the "Whole Mind System."This book is a shameful act of self-promotion, in my opinion. There is no substitute for hard work.
