"Very poor editing for the Kindle version" according to Pedro P. R. Vasconcellos. *This is a review of the Kindle version*Someone did a horrible job at converting it into a Kindle version.

Creating a simple image or short scene in your mind (takes seconds) is more than enough to help you memorize each item in a list. You simply have to link each
