Reading summaries is the new way of reading

A book summary is a piece of content that describes an entire book in a compressed way, and therefore it only covers the important parts of the book and ignores the massive amount of unnecessary content. However, it contains the very same information as the book itself but in different words, but of course with the same clarity and message. Below we have collected a few arguments to why more people should read book summaries.

 

  • They bring out the most important information
    Book summaries, unlike entire books, are effectively summarized into concise and readable form, this saves a lot of time because one gets access to the very same information as the book itself in fewer words yet still preserves the same clarity and essential meaning. This feeds the busiest readers with information without demanding a lot of time to get needed information, for instance a two-page summary of an original book of one hundred and fifty pages saves a lot of time for the readers.

 

  • They bring out the most important information
    Reading a summary saves you from reading the whole non-essential background information, introductions, long explanations and other personal comments, it, therefore, brings out what the important issues are in the whole text, those which the reader is only interested in, mainly controlling ideas like topic sentences, also conveys major findings, conclusions and recommendations.
