I don’t think it’s possible to memorize, or even read, a 700 page book in an hour. Skimming a 700 page book for an hour is possible though.

I would like to find someone with [photographic memory](https://artofmemory.com/wiki/Does_Photographic_Memory_Exist/), but I’m pretty sure that it doesn’t exist.
