Animal Farm
This book is wild! It is moooooooving. My daughter needed this book for her class. I had her read a chapter of the book, then read the cliff notes for the chapter. Hopefully this helped the book to sink in her head! Everything came in good condition.

George Orwell's Animal Farm introduction by Harold Bloom
The book came in very good condition, but the shipping came on the 2nd to last day of the allotted time for the shipping date and usually books should ship faster. other than that though, i was very pleased in its condition.

Perfekter Überblick
Ich habe mir dieses Werk als Zusatzinformationen für die Lektüre von "Animal Farm" gekauft, da ich das genannte Werk mit einem Englischgrundkurs in der Q1 gelesen habe. CliffsNotes bestechen, wie auch im Fall von "Animal Farm" durch eine konzise Darstellung des Inhalts, der Charaktere und wichtiger Konzepte. CliffsNotes entlastete meine Lektüre stark und ermöglichte mitunter einen vollkommen neuen Blick auf diese. Die Autoren sind keineswegs Professoren sondern mitunter auch Masterstudenten, die einen erfreulich frischen Blick auf die Materie eröffnen. Erfreulich finde ich ebenfalls, dass keine didaktischen Vorschläge zu der Bearbeitung der novel getätigt werden, sondern lediglich eine solide Textanalyse stattfindet. CliffsNotes können keine Deutungshoheit beanspruchen und das tun diese meines Erachtens nach auch nicht. Sie ermöglichen aber unterschiedliche Blickwinkel auf die jeweilige Literatur. Vor allem die inhaltlich-analytische Tiefer der Notes und der Preis machen dieses Werk wesentlich attraktiver als die Lektürehilfen diverser Schulverlage. P.S.: Diese Rezension stimmt mit der Rezension von CliffsNotes zu Golding's "Lord of the Flies" überein, da ich beide Werke parallel verwendet habe.
