The 7 best free guides for book summaries

There are sometimes when we are unable to read every book for class. At times like that there are 2 guides that come to mind. SparkNotes and CliffNotes. If you want to check out a different point of view or some different resources I have found 5 more sites that are worth checking out.
This is my first 7Best guide
1.SparkNotes
The old faithful for students who need to do some last minute cramming.










2. CliffNotes
Another website that is used all the time. No need to say any more.


3. Pink Monkey
With over 460 free study guides, book notes, and chapter summaries, PinkMonkey is a great resource for students, It also contains detailed summaries. If you can ignore the unusual name, it is worth checking out.





4. Shmoop
Shmoop is one of the best sites on the Web for learning about not only literature, but also other school topics like U.S. history, poetry, civics, biography, and even current bestsellers. The website provides a brief “in a nutshell” introduction to books as well as in-depth summaries. Other features include exploring the story’s themes, quotes, characters, and literary devices, along with plot analysis and study questions.


5.Grade Saver
GradeSaver is another great place for students in need of help. A well-written summary and analysis is provided for the book’s chapters, with other helpful additions like a glossary of terms, character list, and major themes.




6. Bookrags
