Summer Homework

I had a tough summer because I was working, so I didn't have enough time to finish all of my summer homework for English. So buying the Cliffs Notes really helped me when finishing the project. This book is a Godsend, as are all the other Cliffs Notes books.

The Iliad

If you are in a hurry to complete your report, it will help you so. But don't forget to read the entire book as soon as you can.

A must-have

especially if you're new to Greek, or are somewhat intimidated by Homer. Any student studying The Iliad should have a copy of this to help them keep the families and factions in order. However - if you're already familiar with Greek and/or Homer, this won't provide you with much info that you don't already know. I would think the student would benefit the most from this.

Great tool

This book really helped me w/paraphrasing and understanding characters in the Iliad. Since summarizing a whole 18-page chapter (book) isn't sumthing i do, let alone understanding it, Cliff Notes where GREAT!!!
