Quite good - By: J. Takata, 14 Jul 2006 
I found York Notes to be a great aid for my GCSE English Literature exam. The presentation is clear, it has notes on themes, language, characters etc as well as chapter-by-chapter commentaries. Personally, I preferred the Letts notes over this one, but that is probably due to personal preference & this is definitely worth buying.
Fabulous - By: , 23 Nov 2005 
I found this book extremely useful for my son during his GCSE's, as it clearly explains each different part of the story, with graphical illustrations. Highly recommended.
Success Guaranteed - By: , 25 May 2003 I am a GCSE Student who used this excellent revision guide for my English Literature Exam, & it was an invaluable toolin guaranteeing a thorough understanding of the text & poisein the exam room.
The Chapter Summaries ensure a clear & coherent understanding of the story is maintainted, & the book is further broken down into Character Descriptions & comments on the key themes to ensure nothing is missed out
Superb! - By: , 05 Apr 2003 I discovered this gem whilst searching for a revison aid for the excellent novel by Harper Lee, & when compared to the mediocre Letts Explore guide, the York Notes version outshined itin every way! Detailed Chapter Summaries save crucial time before the exam, & there are some excellent sections on how to improve your grade & the themes that are reiterated throughout the novel. This book certainly improved my grade as i recieved an "A"in the Mock Exam as a result of the superb notesin this book. The only downside is that there is an absence of a page for specific quotations but this encourages you to test what you have understoodin the book & develop a personal opinion of your own which is crucial for examination success. Highly recommended!
