Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. People find the chapter recaps, quizzes, and comprehensive study guides exceptionally helpful for preparing for book club discussions, testing comprehension, and refreshing their memory on past reads. Customers also warmly appreciate the responsive customer support team, noting that staff members are polite, professional, and very quick to resolve inquiries. Though some customers mentioned challenges with account navigation, difficult trial periods, or unexpected subscription renewals, others noted that certain newly published books lack complete summaries and expressed a clear desire for more in-depth literary analysis across various titles.

I love the book selections that I'm able to utilize during book club discussions and for my own increased, literary enjoyment. Plus I had to contact customer service and they were swift to resolve my issue. Glad to be a subscriber.
Well organized and easy to discern what I need (or don’t)
Hi, Marylea. Glad we could make it easy to find what’s relevant! Thanks for your feedback, and wishing you a great next read.
I love this app. I found it when I needed a refresher for my book club book. I love that you can get character descriptions that don’t give away the story. MIT is a wonderful support for audible book especially. Easy to use. I do wish they had a family share option. Easy to use, but apparently tied to my specific iOS device.
Hi, Phyllis! Thanks for sharing this! We’re glad to hear SuperSummary has been working well for your book club. And we hear you on family sharing. Thanks for putting that idea on our radar! Just a quick note: your subscription isn’t tied to your iOS device. You can sign into your SuperSummary account on any device and use your subscription there. Feel free to reach us at [email protected] if any help is needed :)
Very difficult to use: questions for the tattooed man
Hi, Michelle! We’re sorry to hear that you found SuperSummary difficult to use. We’d love to understand what felt confusing or challenging. We’ll reach out by email to learn more, and we’d also be happy to set up a quick video call to walk through SuperSummary with you and answer any questions. We hope we can turn this around!
Sorted out important background and related plot twists and helped answer questions.
We really appreciate your feedback, Stephen. So glad it helped. Enjoy your next book!
These summaries add depth and context to the books I read, especially those for book club.
Hi, Joan. Glad we could add some extra layers to your book club reads. Thanks for trying us out, hope the discussions keep flowing!
The summaries are very concise. I love this website. Helping my grands gain better understanding of the required reading for school. It’s so very helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this, Dede! We love hearing that SuperSummary is helping your grandkids with their school reading. Wishing them lots of success with their studies!
I am not sure that it covered as much of the book that I wanted. I will continue and advise.
Thanks for trying us out, Joan! We hear you on wanting deeper coverage of the book. If there's a specific section or theme you feel was missed, send it to [email protected] so we can look into it. Glad to have you continuing on, and we'd love to hear how it goes.
I used this service once in 2024 and did not realize I had signed up for the annual subscription. When I received an email regarding the annual renewal payment, I reached out to the company to see if I could cancel and be refunded since I have yet to use the service again. In less than 24 hours, I received a response that it was cancelled. I emailed again to ask for the refund and within 12 hours I had received word it was handled along with the PayPal notification. I honestly can’t speak on behalf of the service itself and what it provides, but they will get a 5 start review from me based on customer service alone.
Thank you for your kind review, Lindsey! We’re glad our team was able to assist you quickly and make the cancellation and refund process as smooth as possible. We truly appreciate your recognition of our customer support team, and we’re always here to help whenever you need us!
I find that Suprer Summaries is a great aid to my reading experiences. I read the synopses and discussion questions before I read the book. this helps me to focus my attention on the important aspects of the author’s message
Hi, Margaret. That’s such a cool way to approach a book, starting with a bit of context can really change how everything lands as you read. Thanks for sharing!
Hi, Jacqueline. Sorry to hear you're having issues logging in. We didn’t have a support request from you, so we have just reached out from [email protected] with steps to help you quickly regain access to your account.
Thanks so much, Bobi. Really happy it’s been helpful. Appreciate you sharing!
I did not like the questions you listed for the book I was planning to discuss. I had planned to quit before the 6 or 7 day trial period was over. Unfortunately, I had computer problems and had to bring my laptop in to be diagnosed and repaired, By the time it was returned, your trial period had ended. So I have paid the $60 and will try once more to get some help with discussion group questions. Will let you know if my experience improves. Esther Littmann
Hi, Esther. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry the discussion questions didn't meet your expectations, especially with the added frustration of your computer issues. We'd love the opportunity to better understand what you're looking for and help you get more out of SuperSummary. We'll be in touch shortly from [email protected], and we hope we can turn your experience around.
I was presenting the book The Long Petal of the Sea for my book club and Super summary gave me helpful information.
Thanks so much, Gail! We're glad we could help you prepare for your book club presentation. Hope it went great!
It has been a valuable tool for me as a book club member. Sometimes I read the book months in advance of the books presentation and I am able to bring up the summary to catch me up to speed
Thank you for sharing your experience, Joanne! We're happy to hear our guides have been useful for your book club.

Hi, Candace. Thank you for sharing! It's great to hear the quizzes are helping you keep track of the important points.
