Where can I get a thorough cliffnote on 'THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK'?

Question

The book is so thick and boring. I am wondering if anyone knows of a place I can go to get a thorough review on the book. A trustworthy review. If you've ever been there, you know how I feel. I have read some of the book but the 'language in which it is written' is hard for me to understand. Help!

Answer 1

Part of learning is doing things which do not come easily for us. I encourage you to persevere. As a reading tip, I suggest that you get used to reading with a pad and pen handy. Mark the words you don't understand. At the end of the chapter, go back and copy the words, look them up, write down the definitions and re-read those parts. It is a pain at first, but you become used to it and your vocabulary grows and soon you find yourself moderately literate. Your friends might even think you are trying to make something of yourself. You can laugh at them after they graduate and can only get jobs as manual laborers or at the local KFC.
However, as I feel this will fall on deaf ears and you would rather watch TV, I suggest renting the video. After you see it, THEN go back and try reading the book. They are different, btw. The book is far more exciting.

Answer 2

Cliff's Notes are sold at Borders. Buy a copy there.

FIRST read the chapter(s) you're assigned. THEN read the Cliff's to polish your understanding. Don't cheat yourself out of the experience of reading a classic. There is a reason why we read these kind of books hundreds of years after they're written. Make the best of it! Try to enjoy it!
