After enjoying "A Tale of Two Cities" so much, I decided to read the corresponding Cliffs Notes & Monarch Notes to get a little more insight into the story. Interestingly, each of these "summaries" presented surprisingly different insights. The chapter summaries were short & too simplified, but the chapter analysis was decent. I especially liked the "vocab" section for each chapter, as it cleared up some confusing terms and references. The Character Map at the beginning would have been a handy reference while reading, although it reveals too much about the story line to be useful until after the reader has read the story. There was an interesting essay about the history of the French Revolution at the end.
