This site is a total game-changer. I've been flying through book summaries like never before. Highly, highly recommend.
β€” Dave G
Worth my money and time, and really well made. I've never seen this quality of summaries on other websites. Very helpful!
β€” Em
Highly recommended!! Fantastic service. Perfect for those that want a little more than a teaser but not all the intricate details of a full audio book.
