Here's another option to surviving all of the required reading you've got to do for English classes...MAX Notes. MAXnotes cover the essentials of what one should know about each work, including an overall summary, character lists, an explanation and discussion of the plot, the work's historical context, illustrations to convey the mood of the work, and a biography of the author. Each chapter is individually summarized and analyzed, and has study questions and answers.

If you're having trouble finding a specific title, try another study guide for your book from our Barron's Book Notes or our Cliff's Notes sections.
