### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by E***N on July 9, 2021*

大学院生の時に英語版で読みました。その後外山先生翻訳の日本語版も読みましたが、なんか雰囲気が違うなと思ってこちらに戻っています。 そんなに難しい単語が頻出するわけでもなく、またこの本でまさに言っている通り重要なところ(所々話がまとまってる箇所や、イタリックで強調されている部分)を読めば、そんなに英語力が無くても言わんとしてる事は分かると思います。 本を読むにも読み方がある。読み方にも4つのレベルがある。この本を読む前の自分はどの本も最初から最後までバカ真面目に読む、というものでしたが、この本を読んで、特にinspectional readingの必要性を知ってからは、本当に読書の効率が上がりました。(読むのが上手くなると、書くのもつられて上手くなっていくのは本当に嬉しいことです) 本を読む、それも効率的に読む必要がある人には良書だと思います。オススメです。
