The discount sounds tempting but I love books so much, I love reading it fully and getting lost in the story so i can experience it for myself. I don't think summaries would have that same affect on me. Maybe your money is better suited for something like Audible?

I have it. The quality of the summary varies greatly by book. They focus on getting the summary to within a certain length vs. making sure all key points are covered.

Think what the output would be if you are forced to write a book report for class vs. writing an article to share knowledge you’ve gained.

As a result, the summaries do not do justice for most of the books. So I barely use it now.
