Rated by buyers -
After finding myself having to re-teach LORD OF THE FLIES again, I decided that instead of re-reading the entire novel for the sixth time, I would use SparkNotes to help guide me through my lessons. The last time I taught the novel, I used CliffsNotes and in this case I would have to say the CliffsNotes are the better of the two competing study aids. SPARKNOTES: LORD OF THE FLIES opens with an essay about the context of the novel that is followed by a character list, analysis of the major characters, and an explanation of some of the major themes, motifs, and symbols. A summary and analysis of each chapter follows. This is where CliffsNotes has the advantage, I found the analysis to be inadequate. Also, there are some instances where the summary makes assumptions about things in the novel that don't happen for sure. The summary and analysis of chapters is followed by several tools including answers to questions asked earlier, key facts, study questions, an essay about how to write an essay paper, a glossary of literary terms, and some review questions. Overall, I found SPARKNOTES: LORD OF THE FLIES to be useful in refreshing my memory, but it's not as good as the Cliffsnotes version of the novel.
