I'm reading Pride and Prejudice, but can't read it on a regular basis, so I keep this along side the book for easy reference. It helps me review what I've previously read.

This review is from: Pride and Prejudice (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

Cliff Notes have always helped me in the past have a greater understanding of classic literture, and this guide to Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is no exception.

The guide covers all of the chapters with a summary, commentary and glossary for definitions. The guide also includes a brief biography of the author, character analyses, a review section(which contains: Questions and answers, identify the quote, essay questions, and practice projects), a resource center(which contains: books with more information and web sites), and critical essays.

I highly recommend this guide to anyone who wants a better understanding of this classic book.
