Why FlashBooks Book Summaries?

90% of us don't get past chapter one after beginning a book we'd like to read.

There are a number of excuses that prevent us from finishing the books -- like time, for example -- But even if you could block out the time and be more effective with it -- it STILL takes a long time to read a book from start to finish.

But what if there was a better way to read?

What if there was a way for you to stop making excuses and feeling guilty about letting the books you want to read collect dust by the bedside?
