I purchased the Maximum Speed Reading course of Howard's recently, and I've completed it with great success. My reading speed increased to tremendous amounts (between 863 to 4000, starting at 420), my retention and recall is phenomenal, I remember reading every book as if I read it five minutes ago. I found nothing wrong with this product, though I'm glad Trudeau was kept out of it. I can't stand him. I've taken many different reading courses, and I've liked all except Reading Genius. Howard's course gives probably the most practical way to get through reading material any time of the day, any day of the week. I give it 5/5.

I doubled my speed after doing the Mega Reading program. I doubled again after doing the program a second time (I was obviously very slow to begin with.) The friend that referred this product to me told me that this program helped him get through law books faster than his fellow students. I continue to refer people to this program today.

I had my mom buy me this program over a decade ago when I was in High Schrool. I became interested in speed reading when I read Evelyn Wood's book. Since then I have spent over a thousand dollars learning how to read faster, including the Mega Speed Reading course. While the entire second half of the course is more of a 'holistic' look at reading, i.e., herbs, posture, etc., It offers very good drilling exercises and I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn the basics of speed reading. I must admit that I have never met a person that wasn't skeptical at first, but if you are dedicated to the process... and it is a process... then you will succeed. I started at ~350 words per minute. I won't tell you my highest rate because it's hard for me to believe it myself, but I will tell you that I read fiction at about 1400 wpm, and nonfiction at the 900-1100 range. What's my highest rate you ask? Let me put it this way- I read Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby in less than half an hour without ever reading it before and aced a test on it the next day. It was like a movie in my head. Look, this is the point that any course like this will try to get you to learn.... here's a thousand dollar sentence: When you can kill that voice in your head that reads to you when you should be reading instead, you'll be speed reading. Spead reading is not reading the first and last sentence in a paragraph... it's about reading every single word on the page but doing it with your eyes, not your inner voice. To make a long point even longer- get the program EyeQ, check it out, check out Effective Reading Systems, Evelyn Wood, and Howard Berg. They all really know what they are talking about if you just have the guts to change the way you do things. Oh, and I didn't spell high school wrong. You'd know it if you're a ditto head. And just to boast my high rate is over 4k wpm. You never forget anything like that. The only scam I have ever seen, read, and thrown away was that Subliminal Reading course. Man, is that cr4p! Well, thanks for listening, and happy reading. It's worth it.

Mega Speed reading worked for me! i can read a Information Technology book in about 5 minuets! so if you dont have anything nice to say,... SHUT UP!

I'd just like to put in that just because the program itself is only four hours long, nobody can expect to get good at anything without a lot of practice. I'd like to say that I personally have gone from 250 words per minute, to 900, using the techniques described in Mega Speed Reading. And I comprehend everything I read, as well. Yes, it took practice, so if you're lazy, and want to listen to a bunch of tapes, and suddenly be amazing at something, don't buy it. That's not how things work in this world. But if you've got the will to practice the techniques, this is a great program, and I would recommend it to anybody.
