A good resource
This is an extremely useful aid to studying and understanding Brave New World. While it is not a critical text in any way it does contain a comprehensive list of what happens, point by point, in each chapter, which makes finding certain passages for the purpose of quoting or referencing much easier.

As a former University student whilst studying Brave New World, and especially whilst writing an essay, I found it of great use to have such an aid to hand.
