Yes its a good idea, but I would pick up on one very particular 'for instance' or principle and make a one-sentence comment on that rather than saying vaguely how interesting and stimulating it was. Above all, be specific.

Do you mean make a comment on what iv learnt from the book? So far iv read 'Free lunch' by David Smith, 'No Logo' by Naomi Klein and 'The Truth about Markets' by John Kay (which is the one im going to mention).
