I can now remember everything...thank you Mr Cooke - By: J. Riggall, 19 Nov 2008 
This is a great book for learning a new technique to remember things. As long as you make the imagesin your head extreme & clear, it really works. you can remember anything as long as you construct a distinctive story around it. This is how people used to remember thingsin the old days before the printing press. Cooke clearly shows us this technique & is funny at the same time. Check it out!
not for everyone - By: june t, 02 Nov 2008 
I found this a little too time-consuming to use as a method for learning large amounts of information. Also, as I am over 50, I had to learn twice to make anything stick. Still entertaining though.
Excellent - By: B. W. Whately, 17 Oct 2008 amazing - this genuinely works. I am so excited by my new-found ability to learn things, that I think I might have to go back to university, or re-take some A-levels, just to find a suitable arena to show off these astonishing memorising skills. But I will be needing many more books from Ed Cooke to help me on my way - when is the next one due!?
Some old mnemonic techniques that bear repeating - By: P. R. S. Jehu, 10 Oct 2008 Ed Cooke's little opus is a much-needed reminder of very useful mnemonic techniques, especially those which have to do with word association. This has been recommended as, for example, very usefulin vocabulary recognition & learning when studying foreign languages, vocabulary being the most difficult & endless part of foreign-language learning. The more absurd, or indeed obscene, the association, the better it will be remembered. As said, a useful book, especially for students, who have a lot to rememberin a short space of time. Well done Ed (was that his name?)!
Hlarious but effective! - By: Cristelle, 08 Oct 2008 
I found out about this book after I read a review of the authorin a newspaper & since buying it, I have been unable to put the book down. I am never great at remembering things & now I can recite the kings & queens of England & the American presidents thanks to the paths of images that you follow. I have amazed myself about well I have done & already impressed some of my friends. On top of that the little drawings which help you throughout the book are totally awesome & super funny as well!
