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!
