I wouldn't say I'm that good at summaries, but the way I've always done them leaves out dialogue and personal exchnages. Rather than summarize chapter by chapter, I'd prefer to do summaries of each arc as well.

In other words, to me, a good summary is one that gives someone all the necessary information and context regarding a story without just becoming a shortened version of the story that's been stripped bare.
