Summary: worth the price......
Comment: when i found out that i would be studying frankenstein for my AS year i thought it would be "easy" after seeing/hearing so much adaptations of the novel in my life. however frankenstein is a complex novel with suprisingly many themes that can be assosiated with modern life and this study aid does help ...to a certain extent. it does include everything you need to know for the final exam and offers very helpfull notes on each page of how it associates to film versions, web sites and peoples opinions of the novel. i would advise eveyone thinking about gettin the study companion to get it as it tells you enough hints and questions so you begin to think about them yourself... although it would have been more helpfull if there were more developed explanations on some characters and thems but then again we are suppost to do this exam our selves!

Summary: What year is it and what am I studying ?
Comment: Look if you're going to buy a book about making monsters, then make sure it's the right monster. Shelly wrote Frankenstein in 1818 and rewrote in it 1831 and there are significant differences. It's also good to know which course you're on this York guide is aimed at A Level students and Undergraduates. This guide does reference the 1818 edition and has much useful background information, however the book's analysis is based on the 1831 text. So I cry foul! But I'm not sure who to blame for this misrepresentation of what is actually an excellent guidebook. Just make sure it's relevant to your study. Anyway I must go online for a recharge for what is Franklystein a wasted expense!

Summary: Very Useful If You Want The Top Grades
Comment: The York Notes series is an extremely good series of books which help you study in depth at GCSE level.
I recently purchased the "Frankenstein" edition, and I was not dissapointed. Being a student who wants to achieve the highest marks and grades, I decided to purchase this book and it has helped me to understand the book amazingly!
The chracter analysis is brilliant, clear and precise.
The chapter by chapter summary and commentary also extremely good, but might have gone into slightly more depth.
The exam checkpoints and questions also beneficial, and helped me to get understand the key points in the play, and at the same time test my knowledge and understanding.
Something which was very good, and that helpled me get 26/27 on my first draft of the Frankenstein coursework was the section on how to use quotes effectively. The key quoataions part of the book was easy to understand, and proved to be indispensible.
Overall this York Notes book gives a superb analysis and summary. It tells you all the bits you need to know, but the reason it did not get 5 stars is that it could have gone into a little more detail, but it certainly did the job!
If you are studying Frankenstein at GCSE and you want a reasonably priced book, that gives off everything you need to know, this is th book for you.
Top buy!
