Amber,
What is the name of that book you used as an example?  It sounds like one I 
would love to read.  About changing synopses, though, I think an admin 
person has to do that.  Marissa used to replace them for us if we asked her 
to do it.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question about summaries


I have noticed this problem with summaries of books on the site in the past. 
I give this as an example....
When Carrie arrived as a wide-eyed freshman at StanfordUniversity, she 
thought she knew what to expect.After all, she was the golden girl, one in a 
long
line of herfamily to attend the hallowed school. But no one couldhave 
prepared her for the monumental changes shewould face when she met her new 
circle
of friends. Foronce their lives intertwined with one another and becamewoven 
into the tapestry of the times, they would never bethe same. ...

Is this just really bad typing, or is there a reason for this?  I am seeing 
it a lot in summaries of books, and it is very distracting.  Is there any 
way these sloppy summaries can be eliminated?
