Very detailed. I used it to help me to understand the concepts behind the story, and it is indeed helpful. Gives you different insight into meaning of things.

Typical cliffnotes review; good for characters and following chapters

I had the read Ellison's Invisible Man for AP Literature- and after struggling through the first five unbearably long chapters- I made a decision- To through th book out the window!!! Save yourself the agony of reading this "great" work of American literature- buy the cliffs notes- they have all of the info w/o the boring stuff!

As described.
