Finals are fast approaching and if you're anything like me: 1) you don't really care, 2) you actually do care, but you tell everyone you don't to look cool. Furthermore, if you are in any way like me, you have read about half of the books that you were supposed to this year. And by half, I mean none. And by none, I mean you went out of your way to read only books that weren't on the syllabus.



So, James, what's the answer? How do I prepare for these finals when I haven't read so much as my class schedule? Well, I'll tell you: I have absolutely no clue" but I have an idea.



We all know about Cliffnotes, Sparknotes, Classicnotes, Anywordthatfitsbeforenotes, and I think we'll all agree that these things are lifesavers when it comes down to cramming the day of the big exam. But here's my problem: they're way too long. If I wanted to read something that was eight pages long, I would simply read off of the essay of the kid in front of me (not a bad idea, actually" ). So, without further ado, I present a James Girvin Original: Judge-the-Book-by-its-Cover-notes (patent pending). Let's check out some of these exciting summaries!
