[Emily · Rating 2 out of 5]

This "Cliff Notes" sort of book offers a synopsis of "The Stranger" and some study and essay questions, but not a lot of real insight into the novel. If you have to pass a test on "The Stranger" but can't be bothered to read the very short, excellent novel, good luck to you, and best wishes in your quest to just squeak by.

Ok if you don't need a lot of detail when analyzing the book. I tried to use it for my Advanced Higher CEL on the absurd but there wasn't much detail.
