This cliff notes saved my life! As a student who needed to read a Dickens' book, I was more than confused. While the book is a classic, the structure and style makes it a hard one to read. I have to say that I did in fact read the book, the whole book, no skimming or cheating. However, I read each chapter and then read what Cliff Notes had to say on it. Cliff Notes really clarified what happened and offered insight into a book full of depth and metaphors. I recommend this to anyone, though I also caution against reading only the Cliff Notes. While they were insightful and a major help to myself, they do not tell the whole story or all the details. This was a great weapon to have in my arsenal!
Highly Recommend for Younger Readers

I purchased these cliff notes for my son who was reading this book as a school assignment. The names, terms, society, everything in Dickens' book are just too different from modern American society for a young person to comprehend very well, let alone be 'tested' on. He read both the book and the cliff notes and needed both to really understand what was going on and the point of many of the passages.
A really helpful book

There is not much I can say. The only important thing is that some people will like it and others have the opposite reaction. People should read it because it is an interesting book.
great ending
