Check out our Flashcard Machine!
You can start a "study session" that will allow you to work with the vocabulary flash cards!
You can also "quiz me" and you will be given a quiz over all the vocabulary words! The quiz options are randomly set, so if you practice again and again you will see what you really know!

The reason I prefer this version is because of the extensive notes that are added to help with comprehension of the novel! It also includes some great commentary that also helps with understanding! You can buy your copy of the novel very inexpensively! You do not need to start reading the novel - just have it available to you! If you prefer to check a copy out from me, you may do that. If you have any questions, please just ask!
