so-soI liked it but it‘s dense and difficult. In some ways it felt it had one really good point and was dragging it out. That idea, however, is fascinating. I told everyone I was reading this book simply to try and have someone to discuss it with - it would have enhanced this experience

My Curiosity through this story builds to be hefty as the author justifies how sufficient someone can teach a language in five days. The main character, Michael Thomas, was teaching students who found it usual to fail languages to gain five years worth of knowledge in five days. He made his lessons very interesting the way he taught especially how he told all his students to remove there knowledge from before an restart.
