Review: The "Dominic System" laid out in these pages is, for me, by far the most natural and user-friendly method of memorising or working with strings of numbers and letters because it is based upon: 1. people and actions, which are endlessly more interesting than the systems of, say, Tony Buzan or Dr Bruno Furst which are largely based upon objects; 2. an interchangeable number-letter code that couldn't be easier to pick up or refer back to as, again unlike the other much more confusing and working-against-oneself systems I am aware of it pretty much follows the order of first ten letters of the English alphabet (for these two crucial reasons, my book MEMORY PALACE DEFINTIVE and all future ones I am working on are compatible with and expand upon Dominic's number-letter code and System. I also tout HOW TO DEVELOP A BRILLIANT MEMORY WEEK BY WEEK as my standard text on memory improvement in my chapter on both this subject and developing fluid intelligence in the Pat Wyman-edited book AMAZING GRADES). Pretty much all memory improvement topics students, professionals or just those looking to exercise for fun playing cards or quiz games etc. (as well as fluid intelligence in general) are covered at a low price in HOW TO DEVELOP A BRILLIANT MEMORY WEEK BY WEEK, laid out nicely and, despite what certain other reviews have said here, with sufficient examples and different pacing possibilities to suit ability or available time.

Review: I bought this book to help me remember content for vocational exams. I have tried a couple of the basic techniques in the book and they seemed to work as they did help me remember some stuff. However to get the most from this book you need to work through it methodically and practise the techniques. It does help to open up your imagination by using pictures and places etc to associate something more memorable which you then link with the information that you want to remember. I hope to do more of this in the future but for now my overall impression of this book is that it s a worthwhile purchase.
