Mood Readers Rejoice! And if your memory isn’t what it used to be

Several times I have started a behemoth of a book and paused partway through- only to unpause over a year later without realizing how time had flown. In those cases, SuperSummary had been tremendous! It saves me many hours that I would (maybe) spend re-reading but also allows me to finish books I would otherwise just DNF! Even if you enjoyed a book, it’s a tough pill to swallow to spend hours just refreshing your memory.

Thorough summaries

I run a few book clubs as a librarian. And sometimes I don’t have time to read as in-depth as I would like. This is where SuperSummary comes in; it allows me to really understand a book, analyze, create my own discussion, questions, and character analysis without having to spend hours upon hours on this singular task. And if I don’t have time to finish a book, I look it up on SuperSummary so I can still lead the discussion with confidence.

Not so easy to use. I had problems in the beginning, then things improved, now the app isn’t working

Super Summary is not super smooth to use.

Great value

This is the best bang for your buck summary site. My only issue is sometimes the chapter summary would give away the ending before the ending. I expect spoilers but I don’t expect it to tell me before it happens. I’m not sure why an early chapter would tell you what happens at the end.

Gives Away Endings

With 700 pages still to read, in Anna Karenina’s part 1 analysis, they give the ending away and instantly destroyed a lot of the fun I had reading the book. I no longer trust your app. I am finished with you.
