User reviews

This is a game changer for me. I have always wanted to get into reading more, but I was stop by hold long it takes to get though a book. I would also have to reread something I just read. This is great! To people that say it doesn't work, I feel this is one of those this that well work for you or will not. I feel like your brain has to be wired differently for it to be able to work. I would like to say to this team for helping me get back into reading.
