York Notes on "Of Mice and Men" (York Notes)

Of Mice and Men is an extremely deep and meaningful book, it's full of morals and steriotypes, which are protrayed quite simply in the book, yet it's possible to miss them. York notes picked up on EVERYTHING important in the book. From the lonleness of Crooks, Lennie and Curly's Wife, to revenge seeking Curly, and the simple minded Lennie. The book starts off my setting the scene, you get a picture of why the things in this books happened, mostly because of societies downfalls at the time, remember the book is written around the Great Depression.

And ok, i know what you grade A students are thinking, you probaly wrekon your way to good at English to need these books. But i was a grade A student, and these books really helped me to achieve exceptional pieces of work and A* Grades. So swallow your pride and get one!

I bought this book a few days before my English Lit exam and it helped me considerably for preperation for the exam. The book has a summary of each chapter and a detailed insight into each chapter highlighting all of the important aspects of that chapter. Themes are very important in the story 'Of Mice and Men' and york notes covers it in maticulate detail. The most important part of the book is the importance of each character and this book covers every detailed needed. If your aiming from A* to C for GCSE English Lit this book is the best one to use.
