The creators of LitCharts have done a great job in the presentation with
side-by-side analysis, making summaries more concise and easy to follow.
Colour-coded themes are threaded throughout the summaries allowing students to track themes easily and see how they develop.

Richard Byrne, of Free Technology for Teachers says, "LitCharts provides nice outlines and summaries but doesn't provide so much information that a student can avoid actually reading the books you've assigned to them. In this way LitCharts could be useful study aids for students."
