Customer Reviews

An ideal buy.
York Notes is an ideal buy for any Alevel student working on gothic literature...not only is it insightful but it is full of facts and details you would never have thought of.
I would recomend this to anyone working on the Bloody Chamber and gothic literature for their Alevel studies

useful, but badly set out
I found the content of this York Notes book interesting and helpful. Angela Carter is not a writer I was familiar with before & I did learn a lot about her and her writing from the study aid. However I did not like to layout of the book. The headings, colour and arrangement of the contents were at times confusing. Don't let this put you off getting the book though.

Wrong book
This book was ordered for my grand daughter who wanted a book containing "The Bloody Chamber". Unfortunately it only contained reader's notes on the story which was not what we required, so it was returned. The whole transaction including supply and return was handled very satisfactorily.
Not a very helpful review, I'm afraid.
