Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 05, 2024,
has an interesting rant about summarizing
books.
Totally agree with him, I also hated doing book reports. Which is why I
admire all you who do reviews. Doing that is just not in me.
I also agree. The best summaries and most easily accessed are usually
the promotional blurbs whose bias is known. For this, I use the website
Fantastic Fiction.
An outline with opinions or rankings and their reasons are more
interesting to me than a summary of important events as I mainly read
reviews after the book. Often Wikipedia and sometimes Goodreads.
