Summary: GCSE English An Inspector Calls
Comment: I ordered this book for my 15 year old daughter who is revising for her English GCSE in May 2010.
It is extremely well written and full of revision facts about the titled book.
It has helped her a great deal as the book is written in an easy to understand format. It gives lots of answers and discussions to possible exam questions.
I (and my daughter) would definitely recommend it to anyone studying this book to GCSE level.

Summary: CGP Study Guide 'Of Mice and Men' GCSE English
Comment: This is the tabloid version of the study guide:- easy words; almost-funny jokes; colourful pics; summary that gets you out of actually reading the book; themes; characters; full index; exam tips; ditsy little cartoons (which, neverthleless provide a wealth of relevant quotes!)everything the bone-idle student could ever wish for to gain a decent grade at GCSE level. Highly recommended by Daz, Biffa and Puddenhead in my class.

Summary: Wrong curriculum!
Comment: AQA exam board have 2 different English Language and Literature programmes (A and B). This material is for English A - there seems to be no revision support for English B which my son was taking so check before you buy.

Summary: Lowest common denominator
Comment: I bought this Revision Guide for my son's GCSE and these are not just my comments but his own too. Somehow the guide's writers seem to think that to dumb down material makes it more accessible. All it does is patronise the readers. Teenage speak has its place but it is not on a GCSE paper. To think 'oh we'll make English Lit. cool by using street language to discuss Steinbeck's book' is simply failing to equip students in essential skills, ie mastering the type of written English which will enable them to achieve good grades, and doing them a huge disservice. Furthermore, in essays pupils are expected to back up every point they make with a quote from the text and there are no quotes at all throughout the guide.

In contrast, I bought Lett's revision guide for an Inspector Calls and the difference couldn't be bigger.

I can't believe that schools are actually using this rubbish too.

Summary: English Revision guide - great help for parents too!
Comment: Good, concise guide. Not too 'wordy' for your average teen and a good reference point for parents trying to point offspring in right direction.
