Default Book Summary Question

Hello All,

This is my first post on the forum. I love Steve's website and have learned more from it than most books I've read.

I would like some opinions on the following issue.

I love reading books and currently read about 2 books a week. I read primarily for marketing and business purposes along with some personal development books. I realize there are plenty of books I'll never get too simply due to time constraints. What do you all think about the book summary websites? For example, would an 5-8 page summary of a book that can be read in less than 10 minutes give me the essential parts of most books?

I'm thinking about joining a website called getabstract.com, but am not sure if it's worth the cost.

I would love to hear Steve's thoughts or anyone elses on book summaries. I could continue reading my 2 books a week as well as 5-10 summaries a week.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Neal Ashley
