I've always been hesitant to write book reviews or synopses because I believe I have nothing new to add, but this is a novel idea that also benefits the reader by increasing retention. I believe I will start doing this; thank you for the inspiration!

I was taught a long time ago that it's the act of jotting down notes which helps you to remember things. Yes you can always refer back to them, but there is something about the action of physically doing it strengthens the memory retention.

I'm fairly sure that the feeling was typing notes didn't have as strong an affect on retention, the notes needed to be physically written.

You're welcome.
