CliffsNotes on Shelley's Frankenstein (Cliffsnotes Literature Guides) 26116th Edition

This book gave insight on characters, figurative language, theme, etc.. Anything that wasn't understood from Frankenstein, this book helped me understand.

Cliffs Notes are great if your kids need help with their middle or high school reading projects. I read the same books my daughter was assigned so we could discuss them. Thank goodness for CliffsNotes --they always help create and move those discussions along.

An easy to use cheat sheet for book reports.

Great Study guide Should still read bookuse as study guide with book

I had to write a paper on Frankenstein, and this definitely helped me understand the book a lot better! I was able to understand and look deeper into the book's various themes and important details.

AS EXPECTED TO BE!

As always, cliff notes really help a student who needs a little boost. Two thumbs up.

I often read Cliffs Notes as a companion to the novel. I have found that Cliffs Notes has the most thoughtful and comprehensive commentary of any other literature guide out there. However, the notes on Shelley's Frankenstein was a major disappointment. The commentary does not provide any major insight into the themes, characters, or style of the novel. In most cases, the commentary for each chapter is just a more detailed summary of the plot. The guide does provide some useful information on the Romantic and Gothic elements of the novel, but there is so much more to Frankenstein than just the conventions of the literary time period. If you are only looking for something to help you understand the plot, than this book will serve that purpose. But if you need help understanding the deeper implications of Shelley's work, don't waste your time or money on this poorly written summary.
