What do teachers say about this resource? (9009)
This is very detailed and is a good resource for understanding the text... I liked the chapter-by-chapter analysis and found that detailed and comprehensive... This would be good for a new teacher who did not know the text or for a student who needed a bit of knowledge boosting.
A good study guide overall with lots of detail about the text... I liked the chapter-by-chapter summaries and the detailed exploration of each of the chapters. Some excellent detailed analysis... It certainly would give students (and teachers!) a greater understanding of the text and its characters.
