Customer Reviews

Excellent Book!
Gives you the meanings of all language, sentence structure and punctuation terms needed to impress your marker. Plus, gives you examples of the types of questions related to these terms which are commonly asked in the close reading paper and shows you clearly how to answer them. I also found this book really helpful when it came to analysing the literature and writing critical essays. The best book you'll buy for Higher English.

Excellent resource for teachers and students
This is a very useful resource for both students and teachers; it should have been written years ago, not just for the new courses! Takes students clearly through the different question types with lots of handy examples, and provides lots of practice exercises. I highly recommend it.
