Book Summary Sites
The Top 10

Many people search online every day for "book summaries". These searchers can be divided into three main groups: business people, students, and special interest groups.

So, as a service to my visitors at Writing Help Central, I have researched and compiled what I consider to be the Top 10 (or so) "book summary sites" that are listed with the top search engines: www.google.com, www.msn.com, and www.yahoo.com.

The sites listed below are ranked in order of importance (from top to bottom of page) based on the www.alexa.com traffic rankings that were assigned to them on the day I did the research. Generally speaking, alexa.com rankings are an excellent proxy for both the popularity and quality-of-content, of a given Web site.
