Pros

  • A great companion piece to the novel, this guide moves beyond basic reading comprehension
  • The packet is not overwhelmingly long, while still covering every chapter and a few aspects of the novel in depth

Cons

  • There is at least one minor typo in the document that can't be fixed; at the very end one word reads thin instead of think
