For the final exam, it is very important to know the novel well, especially as regards to certain aspects of the novel on which you might be questioned. Make you own summaries of characters, themes, settings, chronology and themes.

Here is a [|link] to a study guide by GradeSaver, and here is the link to the [|Shmoop] study guide, but as always these guides will give you a good overview of the novel and is good for quick revision or refreshing an aspect of the plot, but they can NEVER replace any kind of close reading you could do on your own. Reading only a study guide is like drinking tepid water from a stagnant pond on a hot day if you are thirsty - it will slake your thirst, but there will be little joy in it. In comparison, reading the novel is like drinking that tall glass of cool water with the ice clinking, the twisted slice of lemon and the crazy little pink umbrella at a cocky angle in your glass You not only slake your thirst completely but you also gain the whole experience to go with it. - the experience the fun, the joy and the intellectual stimulation.

is a link to an excellent critical analysis which I found on Ebsco, which I am sure will help you quite a bit in your thinking about the novel. Another critical essay well worth your reading is. It is called "When We Were Clones" and is an article by Martin Puchner. It was also originally on Ebsco.
