It’s a great book for everybody. You will be able and more importantly willing to read anything from academic to journalistic to literary. As it happens often that you are supposed to read something you do not wish to spend time on, this book helps you prepare for it mentally and technically. After learning all the strategy I am working on vocabulary because no matter what, if you don’t know the meaning of the word, you’ll stop.

The cover is different than the one of my book but I believe it's the same. I'm surprised that this didn't get a better review because I really was impressed with this book. I learned a lot that I haven't been able to find in any other source of dating. It was challenging and fun to try the activities and I still have to work with them in order to make them a habit but I will say I'm definitely pleasantly impressed. The only thing I would wish different was that the exercises had more interesting things to read. I think this is intentional because a lot of people that read this after maintain your interest for school provided things but I'm reading for my pleasure so I couldn't knock points off for that
