| 'Well structured and useful for students to use as revision. The summary and analysis comes first which is useful and on each chapter summary there are key words, active learning activities and practice exam questions. The sections on relationships between characters and settings were also very useful considering aspects of the novel which might not be too obvious for many readers... The glossary at the back was useful.' R Smart, Teacher and Independent Reviewer |
