Summary is a review

[Iben]

Is it just me or is the summary of this book somebody's subjective review?

[Rasika]

definitely feels like a review to me. Shall I change the description to the one which is there on amazon.com?

[Paula]

no - since we cannot take anything including summaries from amazon. You will need to find a different source

Edit: I have applied the default description to this edition

Due to current relations with Amazon, we cannot use their data, including descriptions. Instead, you can use the publisher's description from their website - Simon & Schuster

Here are the guidelines from the GR librarian manual for further information:
