Request for Question Clarification by luciaphile-ga on 06 May 2003 16:35 PDT

Would something that is the equivalent of Cliff Notes do? Or do you
specifically want Cliff Notes?

Hi trunks1054-ga,

Thanks for your question.

If you specifically want Cliffs Notes, it is possible to purchase and
download them directly from the Cliffs Notes site for a cost of $5.99.

There are, however, an assortment of other sites that have similiar
content and breakdowns as Cliffs Notes and which are available for
free.

And lastly, the Cliffs Notes site has compiled an "author spotlight"

I urge you to actually read this book. I think you will find it
surprisingly enjoyable. I was forced to read "Great Expectations" when
I was a youngster, and was amazed to find that I was quite caught up
in the storyline. I still remember creepy Miss Havisham and her
rotting wedding-cake. And that scene in the graveyard with the convict
-- brr! Chills run up my spine.

Dickens wrote his fiction as entertainment for the masses, and it was
serialized in newspapers. The notion that he was writing classic
literature probably never occurred to him.
