Customer Reviews

PEFECT FOR ANYONE!
I was looking for a revision book for GCSE that accompanied the play 'Death of a Salesman' but I found that there were not many available. I therefore purchased this instead after it was recommended by a friend! I have never regretted it, it is far better that any GCSE revision book would have ever been! If you are undecided, whether it is for GCSE or anything above, just buy this one! It clearly explains everything and covers every issue. The margin contains handy tips as well as website to visit for more information. Every point is covered by a quote and page numbers are given! A GREAT PURCHASE!

Very useful
A useful revision guide for revising Death of a Salesman at GCSE, contains a number of useful quotations, character analyses and summaries on major themes. It contains much more detail than I was taught in my GCSE lessons and feel much more confident about approaching a question of this type in my exams.

I only gave 4*s due to the layout, it's not divided up very digestibly and seems to be just vast amounts of text which can be very daunting, with not many subheadings.

But if you can work past this, the book contains good, accurate, and useful content.

Excellent
The book contains everything you need to know and you can flick though it to read only the things you wish to know about. For GCSE it goes into more detail than you need to know but if you learn it, an A* is yours. The best notes I could find on it.
