If you re doing A Level English these are the best - Barcode: 9780582506169So, like most people, i used CGP notes while doing my GCSE s and founnd them mostly good (especially on the poem anthologies) - the humour though, while sometimes fun on many occasions got in the way of serious learning and the notes were brief when dealing with full length plays and novels.Step in York Notes. For my A Level English i got one of these books for each of my set texts and they were massively helpful in prompting class discussions, writing essays and revising for the exams. They offer detailed chapter summaries and analyse them in an extremely informative way.There s quotes too, maybe a little too few, but the ones they pick out are good and then at the end of the book you get a wealth of extra info relating to characters, themes and symbolism. If you re an A Level English student or a parent who wants their kids to do well, i d get these notes - they make your life a lot, lot easier.
Excellent for revision - I used this book while doing my Gcse course and it was invaluable. The notes enabled me to cross reference with the actual play. Highlighted the important parts of the play. This book helped me gain my A*
