Correct.  Short summary is just one or max 2 helpful sentences about the 
book.  And it should not contain personal editorial comments.  Be as 
factual as possible.

This is supposed to be a short summary.  If you include "idea taken from 
Amazon.com" it will cut into your allowed summary length.  Amber do you 
have no idea what a book is about when you scan it?  Just curious.
