The Crucible (A BookHacker Summary)

The Crucible (A BookHacker Summary)

Letâ€™s be honest: sometimes you're asked to read an â€œimportantâ€ book that you don't want or have time to read. Sometimes you try and itâ€™s just so boring and impenetrable that you canâ€™t get through it. And then, even worse, sometimes youâ€™re asked to take a test or write a paper about it. If that sounds familiar, then BookHacker was designed for you.â€¨â€¨

BookHacker summaries strip away all the subtlety and stuffiness of literatureâ€™s classic works (100% â€œthouâ€-free guaranteed) and get right to the point. Taking away all the guess work, BookHacker presents the book's warm gooey center in a concise, logical and entertaining way. Just because literary classics can be dry and boring doesn't mean understanding them has to be.â€¨â€¨

In Arthur Millerâ€™s The Crucible, BookHacker gets to the essence of whatâ€™s going down in puritan Massachusetts during that wacky craze known as the Salem Witch Trials. A group of girls were busted performing spells and now everyone in town is in the midst of a full-blown witch-fearing hysteria. As accusations fly and nooses tighten, it becomes apparent that those who are crying witch have motives of their own. BookHacker cuts through their fraudulent claims to examine the danger of lies gone wild and how far a man will go to protect his good name.

"I'm not going to lie--I used this to get out of having to read the book for class and it worked" Steven, 10th grade

â€¨â€¨â€œBookHacker gave me exact details and plotting, EXACTLY everything I needed to get through a dry, tough bookâ€ Rebecca, college freshmanÂ â€¨â€¨

â€œThis was surprisingly cool and honest. Would I want my teachers to know I used it? No, but that's why it's worth buying." Andrew, 12th grade
