What is a book summary – and why should I read one?
A book summary is a text that describes an entire book in fewer words than the book itself, it only covers the important parts of the book and ignores the whole bunch of unnecessary content, however; it contains the very same information as the book itself though in different words, with the same clarity.
When a reader wants to read a book, the very first thing is they look at the summary of the book. The summary of the book is the very first determinant if the reader is going to buy the book or not, reading a summary of a book will help the reader to know exactly if the book they intent to buy is of help according to their specific needs, no one ever want to waste a lot of money buying a book which has a whole lot of information only to realize that it wasn’t of any value according to what they need at that particular time. A heading of a book only or a cover cannot really tell one what the book is all about. A summary tells readers about the topic that they can decide whether they need to read more or not.
People in business mostly need structured summaries and abstracts of published business books. They use such summaries mainly to help them use the least time by avoiding the scenario of having to read the whole book with a lot of details of which some even lack meaning to them, but through reading these summaries, they get the most important information covered in the book.
Students are also one of the groups that need book summaries because it helps them understand more about the book especially where they can’t understand the author. Basically a summary is the simplest version of the book since the writer reads the book and writes what the author of the book is communicating in own simplest language, clear style and accurate translations. This gives a student who finds it hard to understand what the author is conveying in the original book a chance to understand everything well just in simpler words but with the same clarity as the book.
