“Many great resources pass over my desk each term; this guide stands out from the rest as incredibly insightful and simply awe-inspring. Believe me, this truly is the ultimate text guide.”
R Grundy, ZigZag English Development Manager

“A very thorough and detailed resource. I loved the 'key quotations', the parts on imagery, minor characters and on structure. It supports learning by focusing on a range of aspects of the text. The talking points help focus the students. It is supportive of students own ideas whilst helping them to formulate a critical approach. It covers everything! An excellent resource.”
