The Handmaid's Tale (York Notes Advanced)

Not pleased with this order. It was not what I wanted & it took a long time to be delivered.

The price was really great.Liked the way it broke down each chapter.Read it for a book club that I belong to

I bought this book for English class and really didn't like it at the beginning. But Atwood has a way of pulling the reader into the story and absorbing them into the different world. It's amazing how good this literary masterpiece is.

The description fails to mention that this does not include the actual book and is marked up with highlighters. I am very disappointed and will have to throw it in the trash. Too bad I can't afford to order the book now that I'm out for the cliff notes I didn't want.

Don't say it couldn't happen here . . .

Showing up as the first result in my search for this book I assumed it was actually... you know... the damn book! This is nothing but sparknotes in paperback form, useless for college level literature classes. Amazon needs to remove this, period.

I ordered THE HANDMAID'S TALE, but was sent a book of reviews, questions, etc. about the book, but not the text. The book was from Britain. I wrote Amazon about the mistake, but got no reply. This mistake was unusual, but since I needed the text for a book club review, it was useless. I'm paying for a book I did not order. Mary Wilder

I did not ask for the British version of our "Cliff Notes". However, it came up first in my request for the actual book. I didn't realize the book was coming from England either--hence a much longer delivery time. So I wound up without the book, but with the "York Notes" (which were excellent) too late for my Book Club night. Be sure you carefully read before you order. I am told all of this info was contained somewhere or another, which I sure did miss.

Great guide for exams!

Bought by mistake for the novel but found this book helpful and added to my understanding of how mindful we must be not to take our freedoms for granted.

Good review and analysis of the play for an A level student, however you will need other resources and not just this one for a better picture.

Great book to study on. Very detailed with points on book and adds lots of notes for further reference in each section. If you thought you knew handmaids tale before reading this, think again.

Good
