This is a very clear revision guide for my son's exams, he found it easy to understand and he felt confident going into the exams thanks to this book. The writing is styled in a chatty friendly way to engage the student more which is great. My son had to remember key quotes throughout the book, and this revision guide gave key quotes all the way through and explained what they meant. This was really beneficial for my son as English literature he thought is his worst subject, and this revision guide enabled him to understand more and gain more knowledge. The final good thing about this guide is the pictures, it helped my son remember key events in the book and the comic at the end helped him to remember as well.

       Absolutely brilliant- witty and informative!,

I have always loved CGP study guides, and this is no exception. Humour and colour adds to the use as a revision tool, and it is exactly what I needed! It goes into a lot of detail on the subject and makes it all make sense. It helps you understand the plot quickly and easily, with full information on character and themes that will make the whole subject easier. If you're studying "Of Mice and Men" for your GCSE in English Literature, you need this book. It's the only one I know that will prepare you quickly and thoroughly, a true gem.

       Exactly what I was after,

Brilliant book, came a day early which was fantastic. My son has just started his GCSE year and Of Mice and Men is his first exam, with the breakdown of the story in this book even I could understand it so well worth a buy. Would recommend and use this seller again. Thank you
