bethanybeyondthejordan 's review for:
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
by Muriel Spark
I feel somewhat compelled to like this book because it's a classic, but I just can't.
The title character is polarizing and powerful, but unlikeable. I could tolerate that, but the characters didn't inspire me with any depth. Each time the author introduces the students, she includes characteristics—labels, rather—that are both very one-dimensional and repetitive. I couldn't entrench my self in this story, but rather felt like I was relegated to watching it from far, far away.
Too many meaningless rabbit trails, and too few developed characters for my liking. For being such a short book, I had a very difficult time finishing it.
