Miss Brodie is one of those teachers who can’t accept aging or adulthood and instead finds six “chosen” (naive) pupils who will take her strange orthodoxy as wisdom. It works fine until it doesn’t and one of her disillusioned followers outs her.
The writing style is jumpy, and combined with my interrupted listening felt herky-jerky, but that’s my fault.
Miss Brodie and her students are amusingly bizarre, but overall I don’t know what to think of the book or its themes.

This book was not for me at all. None of the characters were likable and there was basically no plot. The entire book could be summed up in one sentence: "A 40 something woman who thinks very highly of herself has both positive and negative influences on a group of 6 girls she teaches at a school."
The book alluded in the beginning to one of Miss Brodie's girls betraying her (resulting in her firing at the school) which seemed a little interesting, but the reveal wasn't exciting at all in the end. The only good thing I can say about this book is that it was short (the audio book is just under 4 hours).
