Customer Reviews

An unbiased and honest review
This is a great revision guide for AS English Literature when studying Spies by Michael Frayn.
Everything you need to know is explained in the guide, and there are also other things which are there to increase your understanding of the novel. I particularly liked the chapter by chapter breakdown, which explains the significance of what goes on in each chapter, and has a glossary to explain words you don't understand. The notes in the column, which guide you to websites and books for further information are also very good, and very well researched.
However, in some of the sections, it would be better if more quotations from the novel had been used to back-up what was written, especially in the themes section. A few example exam questions would have also been nice.
Overall this is an essential revision guide to Spies, and I would highly recommend you buy it.

delivery time
If you ordered it in June/July that was on pre-order as it wasn't published until early September. I'm the author, and I only got my advance copy on 31 Aug.

Delivery boo boo!
While I rate this text highly, I was very disappointed in the length of time I had to wait for the text to be delivered. I believe I ordered this text during June/ July and only just received it on the 12th September!
