Good collection of thoughts and a helpful hand for any study
Cliff notes offers a helpful and important opinion on the fantastic book. It, although not the only set of notes on the text, is a very good guide for those studying 'Brave New World' to start from. It brings fresh ideas and handy pointers to put you on the right direction for sucess. I am currently studying the book at an advanced level and Cliff notes provided me with a great advantage. It brought in good, thought provoking ideas to aid me in the endless toil a student faces!
Couldn't have done the coursework without this informative and stimulating book of collective thought. Would recommend it to any student studying the book, it helped me significantly.

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.
