can any existing AIs/LLMs effectively summarize an entire book?

Assume these are not books that have been extensively written about before, they are nonfiction, about 250-400 pages long.

I'm curious for two reasons:

1. As an instructor, I'd like to know if this is something my students can do when they are assigned reading. (I know I can't really "prove" it either way but knowing is helpful)

2. For myself I see how this could be useful if I don't have time to read a book but want more than the info presented in a review of it - ideally bullet points for each chapter.

I'm also interested if this is something that average people without sophisticated tech skills can access, and if the existing models can do it well (with minimal errors).
