Excellent Source for Analyzing
"Literature Made Easy: Pride and Prejudice" is from a new series that is interesting and innovative. It mainly focuses on a few scenes to analyze, and it does an excellent job at it. But, it's a horrible sourcefor explaining the plot and details. If you plan to skip the book and wanta really good guide, don't pick this. But if you do read the book, thisbook is excellent as an accompaniment for analyzing. It goes into deepdepth in analyzing this literature. If you do skip the book, get this guidefor analyzing and get Monarch Book Notes for the plot, and you'll get awaywith maybe an B or C on tests. This guide is excellent for analyzingliterature. ...
