You're kidding, right? You want someone else to provide you with access to summaries/analyses of books you have not read (whether in part or completely) but will present in class and be graded on? My goodness.

Honigfisch, you describe yourself as "just a normal student", but based on what you posted, I vehemently hope that's untrue. Otherwise, what's the educational system coming to?

Today's Friday. You still have this weekend to do your work.

I recommend that you do finish the book you will present - or switch gears and present a book that:
1- YOU HAVE ACTUALLY READ and
2- If you need further assistance to supplement your own understanding of the work you read, has been analyzed and summarized by a reputable source that is accessible, free-of-charge, online or in materials you can find by visiting a library or bookstore. These search results link to some online book summary/study guides. I can personally vouch for Sparknotes and CliffsNotes, which are well-written, informative, and available free-of-charge online, as well as in print versions you can read in the bookstore or library. Some similar resources listed in Wikipedia (which I can't vouch for, because I've never used them) include:
60second Recap
Coles Notes
eNotes
FlashNotes
York Notes

Additionally, Wikipedia (though not always the most reliable source) itself sometimes includes book summaries and analyses. It took me all of two seconds to discover this Wikipedia page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy:..._and_Addiction - which briefly summarizes the book's background, plot, and themes as well as provides links to more in-depth reviews and analyses.

Good luck on your presentation and exam.
