‘A very useful resource that covers all aspects of the text, breaks them down clearly using subheadings for easy access and it is also written in an easy, fluent style which makes it easy to engage with… There is plenty of information and analysis which will be helpful to both students and teachers and this info is combined with questions to make students think…. I like the way that the chapter by chapter analysis draws out themes e.g. duality in characters and their relationships. The tasks are varied imaginative… The learning tasks are varied and they make the students think more deeply about elements of the text… Subheadings allow students to identify areas of interest such as specific theme or a point about structure very easily… The use of images (or intended images) adds further interest. I like the way that the answers to the essay questions are presented using the AO points. There are also plenty of short, useful quotes (for learning) in the answer section.’ – S White, English Tutor and Independent Reviewer
