Customer Reviews
Read the book not the notes!
The York Notes Advanced Series are on the whole clear, concise and well written. I was therefore disappointed by this book which does not really focus on the dominant themes which arise in the book.
Beautifully written
I loved this absolutely beautifully written book and read it in one sitting. Narrated by an English butler, Mr Stevens (we never know his first name), it is a truly moving tale. From the day he sets off on his journey, the story captivates you until the final pages. I loved his definitions of the word 'dignity' and I would thoroughly recommend this as an excellent, enthralling read of times gone by. I wished it had been longer! It won the Booker prize and for once, you can see why.
