These days most of us are too harried with our daily existence and responsibilities to sit down and read a book of 304 pages, which is why from time to time, we require some assistance in this endeavor.

Being a child of the 1950s, back in my high school days any time I had to read an entire book for my English class I usually frowned each time in doing it, as they were other things I’d rather be doing.

One of these books had been The Tale of Two Cities, and of bothering to read it, I went to a large local bookstore and bought a CliffNotes® copy of the book instead. CliffNotes®, which is still around today have gotten written by actual teachers and professors who know their way around a book, not only did this summarized guide to the book helped me get passed all the assignments and got me B+ for this portion of the class.

What this book does in its 78 pages is to allow its readers to cut to the chase and will enable them to absorb the essential tidbits of knowledge each chapter presents to them. As the book description states:

“This summary book breaks down all the big ideas, key points, and facts so the reader can quickly and easily understand the content.

In this book, you will find:

- Book Summary Overview
- Background Information about the book
- Background information about the author
- Cover Questions
- Trivia Questions
- Discussion Questions”

If this book has piqued your interest in learning more regarding this topic, then buy the actual book and get the additional material [such as the 70 recipes] not included in this summary. In the end, I feel this book does what it is supposed to do, and fulfills the old saying of “Try it before you buy it,” which is why I’ve given this book 5 STARS. ( )
