I think it was full of interesting reading selections. Actually I didn't all the methods that are mentioned in the book. A few basics things I conclude from this book is:
-Read with a purpose
-Preview the text
-SQ3R: Survey, question, read, recite and review
-Make use of the margin
I think this is a good book for practicing IELTS reading. But there is something I found not quite handy.
Anyway, Thanks god I finished in 2 weeks :)
