I do not like this encouragement of book summaries. This goes beyond copyright concerns. It is a disservice to the author to have the product of his/her time & effort “summarized”. I concede to some exceptions where a topic is not adequately addressed in one’s preferred length elsewhere. But in most cases, just read an essay length work on the topic (there are likely many to choose from). As for The Mandibles, it’s a fun page-turner; just take a break from work and enjoy the read!
