Spies CIE English literature notes help

Hey, is anyone doing the novel Spies by Michael Frayn? I’m in desperate need of notes about it. Also if anyone knows how to revise it and can give me advice that would be appreciated. Btw this is for CIE English literature 0486 paper 12 poetry and prose.

My plan is to reread it and annotate along. Is that good enough?
yeah I did this last year, my notes/annotations definitely were not extensive but I still did well

themes and changes in characters is basically where it's at with any english essay so focus on that - e.g. maybe make notes on character progression etc.
Hey I'm also doing Spies for this years 0486, and I recommend you use these; https://www.litcharts.com/lit/spies, they're pretty useful for summarising the novel and there's stuff on themes and character as well.

How did you find the questions on the exam? Was your revision good enough?
