Negative Positive
Title: Not as effective as you are led to believe!
Review: I took both the "diagnostic" pre-test and post-test, one right after another (without reading the book). I was curious to see if the author would be tempted to skew people's results by including an easier set of words into the post-test batch. I scored 46% correct in the pre-test, and 78% in the post-test (not counting those words that appeared in both tests). I'm very skeptical that I would get such a divergence in scores if the words in the post-test weren't just easier.The book itself seems to be pretty informative (just reading it now), but I still think it's sleazy to try to stack the cards in your favour like the author has done in this case.
Is the review positive or negative?
