Tense in summary

00 Summaries should always be written in present tense. But sometimes it sounds strange if you use the present tense when you summeraize/are summarizing( [:^)] ) a book. I mean, if you tell the story of the book in the present tense it's ok but sometimes there are situation where I think it should be told in the past tense or past perfect (is past perfect f. e. has been?). So, in which tense should I tell the story or should I just tell the story in present tense though it doesn't seem to fit? 02 br
02 br
