I was asked to purchase this book as it would be helpful to my English Lang/Lit A Level course. I am finding it EXTREMELY helpful as it not only shows the outline of the course but parts of it in detail. It also helps with my writing as it shows me what the different questions want from me. Overall this is a VERY helpful book. I would recommend it to any student or teacher studying A-Level english. 4 Star Amazon Reviewer I have to admit it was a good investment and I thoroughly enjoyed not only using it for the course but could not bear to part with it when the course ended. I am a mature student and thought this book easy to revise from. 5 Star Amazon Reviewer
