Not what I expect from CGP2
This is the only CGP book which I think doesn't do its' job fantastically. The book does not go into enough depth at all. It lacks enough Bible teachings - something which is required to pass the exam! Many topics are totally missed out, and the book didn't provide me with any help in remebering things for the exam.
Students beware! Many exam boards such as OCR have split the Christianity Religious Studies syllabus up into different courses, and you normally only study one course. This book tries to cover all the courses in a small amount of space and fails.
I don't understand why CGP had to release it with Islam and Judaism, as I wasn't even studying these, and it is a waste of money for me. I would expect CGP to release revision guides for all the major religions separately.
In conclusion, this book is only good for a really quick reference before the exam and if you are in a rush, and to be very honest it didn't help me much at all.

Good Revision guide5
This is an excellent revision to use. It uses visual aids in order to help you with your revision and it certainly does not lack in detail- It simply breaks down the subjects into simpler parts making them easier to understand.

Insufficient details2
Having just used, or attempt to use this book for my GCSE RE exam, I must say i'm not too impressed.
I bought this book thinking it would provide something on top of the work and notes that I produced in class, yet there isn't a great amount of detail to be able to get the highest marks in the exam. I ended up relying on the notes made in class (which i'm never too keen on doing) and just ditching this book completely by the end.
The two stars I did award it are due to a great price and a simple, clear layout, but this still falls short of my expectations.
