A book summary is not a book review.
A book review is a description of the book including your opinions, interpretations, ideas, and critiques.
A book summary, sometimes called a synopsis, it recaps all the main ideas and does not include outside commentary.

If it’s just for you, there are no rules. Feel free to leave out ideas you’re already familiar with (or don’t resonate with).
If it’s an assignment or you’ll be sharing with others, you have to be more objective and include things whether you agree with them or not.

Your mindset is important here. Don’t just blaze through pages as fast as you can. Instead, read each page as if you had to teach the material to someone afterward.

For fiction books, group them by where they fall into the story structure:
For nonfiction books, organize your mini-summaries by topic (use the Table of Contents to help).

Scan through each summary and pick out the most important ideas & plot points. Jot these down in bullet list form on a separate sheet of paper.
When deciding which fictional plot points to include, ask yourself, “Is this information vital for understanding the ‘big picture’ of the story?” If the answer is No, cut it.
For nonfiction books, make a bullet list of the main takeaways from each chapter (or topic) along with the best supporting arguments.

All you have to do is convert your bullet list to paragraph form. The key here is to avoid rambling. Remember, this is a summary. You’re not re-writing the entire book.
If you have a specific page restriction, here’s another tip to stay under the limit:
Page Limit ÷ Number of Chapters in Book = Number of Summary Pages Per Chapter
So, if you have a five-page limit and there are 10 chapters in the book, you would write roughly ½ page for each chapter.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
