Introduction of summary
Hey guys,
I'm a student from Germany and I'd like to her your suggestions about proper summary introductions. the thing is, I have to summarize just one chapter of a book, so unfortunately I'm unable to find a generalization(does every single chapter have a topic, an idea?). I mean it would sound strange if I wrote "Chapter Two of the book Tortilla Curtain by x is about how the protagonist falls in a faint", wouldn't it?
Or do you just leave out the introduction?
Hope you can see my point...
Thanks a lot

Hi,
How about a summary of a book review?
Do you mean this?
Person A writes a book.
Then Person B writes a review of it.
Then you want to summarize Person B's
