The Coles Notes for Animal Farm helped me greatly to have a deeper understanding for the novel. As a gr.10 student, I did not appeciate the novel until I read the Coles Notes. They explain, in easy to understand language, chapter summeraries, and hidden foreshadows, satires, and irony. The notes also include a full explaination on the greatest satire of the novel, the Russian Revolution, drawing parralells with the charcters and settings to the R.R. The notes would come in great use for studying for exams, projects, or even just to understand the novel on a deeper level. Well worth the money!
