Stop trying to replace reading a book with reading a summary of it.

No one's life was ever changed from reading a book summary.

Here's the right way to use book summaries: Image 1) Book Summaries = Movie Trailers

Summaries and trailers are a great way to SAMPLE content.

Just how you watch a movie trailer to decide whether the movie is worth watching, you want to read a book summary to decide whether or not the book is worth reading.
