The notes did greatly help AFTER I read the Christopher Marlowe novel, in the capacity that I was able to choose a wonderful topic for a research paper from the further suggestions offered by the book. As with other Cliff Notes that I have purchased over the years, this one aided me in making heads and tails out of much of the language and historical content. I recommed this guide be used hand in hand along with the Novel itself, for both are an easy and enjoyable read.

"Doctor Faustus" was another book we were forced to read in our AP English class- and it was pretty interesting. But, like always, I learned a lot more from reading the Cliffs Notes than from reading the play.

This edition of the Notes really puts many of Christopher Marlowe's themes into a new light and expounds on the overall plot structure beautifully.

I found the character biographies to be more than adequate and the plot summary on each act of the play very helpful.

Having read Goethe's original novel "Faust", Marlowe's version is a lot better- and is even better once you read the Notes. Another superb job, Cliff.
