"A knowledgeable & detailed resource, which provides a lot of perceptive insight on the text. I liked the well-researched biographical & background material...will certainly help develop students' understanding of key aspects of the novel, including the relationships between narrator & reader, narrative structure & Burgess' use of language. The chapter-focused questions have a pleasing variety with regards to what they ask students to do."
