This book really helps you to understand the text in greater depth. I would recommend it for anyone doing Frankenstein coursework at GCSE level, as it builds your confidence before you begin writing your essay.
Fantastic and thorough study aid for A-Level students December 29, 2009

During my previous two years as an English Literature student at A-level, I always had trouble with various aspects of any new novel we were given: if it wasn't the complex problems of the characters, it was the confusing storyline or the baffling language. Although expensive when buying a new one for each novel you have to analyse, these are absolutely invaluable in the long run in terms of exam revision, especially if you're aiming for a high grade.
This particular edition covers every minute aspect of the novel in a concise, comprehensible manner with an easy-to-navigate layout for students looking for particular references and themes during intense revision time. There are sections on each character, theme and chapter so you'll always have great essay-writing material to hand for assignments.
I was delighted to achieve an A grade on this particular paper, for which I had been predicted a C. Additionally, a Cliff Notes guide is the perfect partner to this, as between them you'll have more than enough information to achieve a stunningly high mark in the exam.
Very Useful If You Want The Top Grades March 15, 2004

The York Notes series is an extremely good series of books which help you study in depth at GCSE level.I recently purchased the "Frankenstein" edition, and I was not dissapointed. Being a student who wants to achieve the highest marks and grades, I decided to purchase this book and it has helped me to understand the book amazingly! The chracter analysis is brilliant, clear and precise.
The chapter by chapter summary and commentary also extremely good, but might have gone into slightly more depth.
The exam checkpoints and questions also beneficial, and helped me to get understand the key points in the play, and at the same time test my knowledge and understanding. Something which was very good, and that helpled me get 26/27 on my first draft of the Frankenstein coursework was the section on how to use quotes effectively. The key quoataions part of the book was easy to understand, and proved to be indispensible. Overall this York Notes book gives a superb analysis and summary. It tells you all the bits you need to know, but the reason it did not get 5 stars is that it could have gone into a little more detail, but it certainly did the job! If you are studying Frankenstein at GCSE and you want a reasonably priced book, that gives off everything you need to know, this is th book for you. Top buy!
worth the price...... June 8, 2006

when i found out that i would be studying frankenstein for my AS year i thought it would be "easy" after seeing/hearing so much adaptations of the novel in my life. however frankenstein is a complex novel with suprisingly many themes that can be assosiated with modern life and this study aid does help ...to a certain extent. it does include everything you need to know for the final exam and offers very helpfull notes on each page of how it associates to film versions, web sites and peoples opinions of the novel. i would advise eveyone thinking about gettin the study companion to get it as it tells you enough hints and questions so you begin to think about them yourself... although it would have been more helpfull if there were more developed explanations on some characters and thems but then again we are suppost to do this exam our selves!
