nevarren 's review for:

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark

4.0

---

At first, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE reads like any other novel about a prep school teacher with special gifts. But as the story unfolds, it becomes increasingly clear that this one is quite a bit different. I love the way Spark teases out the darker aspects of a story, and while the ending felt rushed, the writing is otherwise masterful. What a strange and fascinating book.
