Remember back in school all the books they would have on the yearly reading list. And how at times life just got in the way of making it through all the pages of War & Peace or whatever epic novel that the professor / teacher thought you had the time & interest in reading? What did we always seem to turn to? CLIFF NOTES!
Of course the professor had access to them as well, so they could write the test to quiz you on everything else in the book that was not cover in the Cliff Notes, but we still thought we could get by at times. At least they gave us enough of an idea to be able to talk about the main plot points of the subject!
Now there is an online free version, Sparknotes.
Interesting reading & a good refresher on topics for those of us who are now out of school. And for anyone in school, just be careful. They have just as easy access as you do & of course the only one you are really cheating is yourself.... but from a gal in the "real world", you will never be asked to quote The Secret Life of Walter Mitty! ;)
