 Very Helpful March 27, 2007
I have found reason to use Cliff Notes at various times in the past years. They are always helpful. They provide background information about the author, the times he lived in and a brief overview of the book. Then they break down the book chapter by chapter and explain what is happening in each chapter to the characters. Difficult language is defined. Difficult concepts are expounded upon.
What they do not do is give you the answers for a test or explain everything so clearly that you won't have to read the book. These are a help to understanding the book.
This one on A Tale of two Cities was very complete and very helpful.
Highly Recommend for Younger Readers August 27, 2006
I purchased these cliff notes for my son who was reading this book as a school assignment. The names, terms, society, everything in Dickens' book are just too different from modern American society for a young person to comprehend very well, let alone be 'tested' on. He read both the book and the cliff notes and needed both to really understand what was going on and the point of many of the passages.
