Safe site about homework assistance.

Great site for study guides and notes on popular books.

Excellent site for novel studies, character projects etc. HOWEVER. Some of the "Take a study break" slide cards play on mature themes, sometimes including drawn pictures disturbing themes. (Little to no blood, but still disturbing.)

Does a great job of summarizing chapters.

How does it have my Google account listed on the bottom of the screen? (It has my Google avatar image and account name. Made to look like my Google page. With further examination, I found that the "Privacy" link doesn't go to the right site, instead, it adds ?tab=4 to the very end and removes the /. This brings you to a 404 error site on Google.)

Fantastic site for studying and help with explaining themes and symbols in literature. NOT good for replacing the book altogether however. It provides summaries to help refresh you, but sometimes doesn't touch up on plot points you may need to know.

I didn't read two books in English class, but using this I still got a 78/80 and a ***** on an essay

Useful for studying, as already stated.

Good for studying. Despite other comments you may read, I have not yet found any form of plagiarism on this site. It's also malware free, in case anyone's wondering.

"When your books and teachers don't make sense, we do." Their motto appears at the bottom of every page, and they stick to it very well. This site, oriented for middle- and high-schoolers, has basic summaries and study tools for literature. Reading the actual book is better for getting minor details, but this is a nice review for after your assigned reading.

Greatly adds to my understanding of books.

Some of the stuff on here is not appropriate because of sexually explicit language.

Has a wealth of knowledge useful for quick scanning before a test. Reading the actual book is still highly encouraged.
