Adler’s the advice and information is useful, however, I feel it could have been abridged. There are many times throughout the book where Adler makes a simple, straightforward statement which is easily understandable, yet he doubles down and yaps for a couple extra paragraphs. Overall still worth a read if you have the time.

I just couldn’t enjoy reading this book. (kind of ironic) I genually couldn’t focus while reading hardly any pages and I usually can focus quite well while reading

The authors teach you how to read great books like you'll have them for a few days then never see them again--giving you the tools you need to make them your own and to remember them in a year or a decade. This includes learning to read on four different levels: analytically, synthetically, critically, and syntopically (more than one author on the same topic). Once you master the book, practice the techniques in a seminar or in a reading group. It's hard to read great books on your own (they are rarely easy to understand, or they would not be called great). It takes support and a few months to turn these reading techniques into habits.

If you want To learn how to read better, then this is the book for you! Adler breaks reading down to four levels which can be mastered by anyone.

Adler does a great job breaking down the purpose and methodology of the reader.
