As usual I am impressed with ability of this company to put out concise, well-written break-downs of complicated works of literature.

As in their other books MAXnotes breaks down the plot, characters, and literary devices in a way that makes the book more accessible. They provide not only definitions and summaries, but analysis as well.

I found they did an especially good job of breaking down the first 3 chapters that is so filled with technical language that students often become lost and disinterested in an otherwise wonderful book about the human condition.

I have found more and more of my students that use these books perform better on my tests, and have deeper and more meaningful papers than those that don't. I find that MAXnotes gets them to think more about the book, rather than trying to give them a quick summary.
