You Will Need

A study guide for the book
The actual unread book itself
An unethical nature

Step 1.
Search online

Type the name of the book and “essays” into your search engine, and you’ll find tons of information about the plot, characters, and subtext. Don’t trust <em>everything</em> you read, but figure out what the consensus seems to be.
Step 2.
Get the study guide

Buy a study guide for the book at a bookstore. Not only will it give you a detailed plot synopsis, but it should go through the main points of each chapter and provide insights.
Step 3.
Log onto Amazon

Look up the book on Amazon.com and read people’s reviews and opinions on the book. It’s like being in a book club—without actually going anywhere, talking to anyone, or reading a book!
If you’re taking a multiple choice test and have no idea of the answer, go for either B or C—research shows these are the correct answer more often than A and D.
Step 4.
Read selectively

Read the table of contents, the prologue, the first and last page of each chapter, and the last few pages. In ten minutes you’ll get the gist of the book.
Step 5.
Find a movie

See if the book was ever made into a movie. But be warned: Hollywood takes many liberties with literature—just because they all live happily ever after in the film doesn’t mean they do in the book.
Fewer than half of Americans over 18 read just for pleasure.

don't try looking up essays online. There's anti-plagerism software which is like a search engine for essays. they can know within seconds if you copied.
