 Overview
 ========
 
-`Box` is designed to be an easy drop in transparently replacements for
-dictionaries, thanks to Python's
-duck typing capabilities, which adds dot notation access. Any sub
-dictionaries or ones set after initiation will be automatically converted to
-a `Box` object. You can always run `.to_dict()` on it to return the object
-and all sub objects back into a regular dictionary.
+`Box` is designed to be a near transparent drop in replacements for
+dictionaries that add dot notation access and other powerful feature.
+
+There are a lot of `types of boxes <https://github.com/cdgriffith/Box/wiki/Types-of-Boxes>`_
+to customize it for your needs, as well as handy `converters <https://github.com/cdgriffith/Box/wiki/Converters>`_!
+
+Keep in mind any sub dictionaries or ones set after initiation will be automatically converted to
+a `Box` object, and lists will be converted to `BoxList`, all other objects stay intact.
 
 Check out the `Quick Start <https://github.com/cdgriffith/Box/wiki/Quick-Start>`_ for more in depth details.
