Very helpful!

informative and interesting

A great supplement to the novel that not only serves to explain, but also as a springboard for critical thinking beyond even the discussion within. My only complaint was they often referenced future events, which gave away some of the story. I would prefer an additional chapter wherein they point-out all these tie-ins amongst chapters.

These were really helpful. There were a couple of scenes I didn't understand in the novel and this helped me deepen my understanding of the characters and themes in the book. These are the only CliffsNotes I have ever read.

Similar to Sparknotes, but it has more useful resources.
This booklet gives the summary and analysis of each chapter and also defines several vocabulary words that many high school students would not know. It also has a description of the characters plus a major analytical paragraph or two on the major characters. The booklet also has sources to test your knowledge and understanding of the book with questions asking you to identify quotes from the book and answer the questions by filling in the blank.

Extremely useful source for those who are reading The Great Gatsby in class. I definitely recommend it.

Good overview of great Gatsby

The Cliff Notes provide a good overview and summation of the great Gatsby. The essays are well written and thoughtful, although there could be a few more of them. The skim the surface but do not provide an in-depth analysis.

It was very helpful but included a lot of spoilers in the earlier chapters, which ruined parts of the book for me

A excellent summary and analysis of the book that helped me gain a deeper understanding of it.

Helpful and insightful. I was shocked at how many typos there were though.

This study guide has excellent summaries and analyses of each chapter, three essays on main characters and background information about the author and the context of the novel. It’s also got some extraneous content, like a Character Map which visualizes the relationships between the characters in a kind of flow chart and two literary essays in the back that don’t add much to what has come before it. Graphics in the margins denoting “Character Insight” and other topics also don’t seem that useful to me, and the copy editing is poorly done with misspelled words including characters’ names on many pages. This study guide does have some unique content. For example, it points to a possible homosexual theme in a scene involving the narrator, and also highlights the warped perception of his perspective after a night of drinking. This study guide has the most thorough chapter summaries and analyses of any guide I’ve read but it’s also stuffed with extraneous content which dilutes the purpose of this type of book.

A great guide to understanding the themes that pervade Fitzgerald's work. I don't agree with everything that the author presents (especially because many of her claims lack sufficient evidence from the novel)but in spite of this I do believe that this guide has value.

Rather helpful as far as Cliff Notes go and opens up a few new ideas about the book.
