Book Report #73 - Teach Me

Teach Me by R.A. Nelson

I read this even faster than I read Breathe My Name. Then I reported to the author that he has mastered the art of suspense.

I don't know how he's dead on writing from the perspective of teenage girls. It's eerie. I'm sure he has a better grasp on it than I do.

This time high school Senior Nine delineates from her path of the smart, responsible and quirky student. She becomes involved with her hot poetry teacher. I think we can all agree that that's never a good idea. But we'd love to read about it happening, wouldn't we? I couldn't get enough.

It became a story of betrayal (I wanted to kill him!) and obsession that I simply could not walk away from. I went to bed reading it Friday night and before I got out of bed Saturday morning I'd finished it.

General consensus: I only have one complaint - that Mr. Nelson hasn't finished his next book yet!
