I love this book.
I like his advice, I like his anecdotes, I like the tips and hints and ideas. It's a short book and a quick read, which makes it even better.
To address some of the 1-2 star reviews...
1) I didn't find him obnoxious or full of himself, but - hey, chemistry. People like different people.
2) No, he doesn't teach you any one language, he talks about his method of learning languages. It's a good one.
3) Yes, mnemonics. Yes, it works. If you know how to use it. If not - of course it won't “work”. :-D But mnemonics is how Timothy Doner learns languages, so - good enough for me.
