The Teacher

Wrote a review for

“DIGGING A GRAVE IS HARD WORK.”

The Teacher by Freida McFadden.


“It’s a lesson she’ll never forget”

Now I can’t say that I enjoyed the book that much, but it wasn’t As bad as I expected since everyone was talking about how much they hated this book!

I don’t know, but I liked it. I read it without having that feeling in my stomach that I was obliged to read it just because I started it or because of this year’s reading challenge.

But what’s more interesting ,in this reading experience I had with this book, is that every chapter came with a twist that had me put my hands on my head and jaw on the floor!


“Life nearly passed me
by
Then she
Young and alive
With smooth hands
And pink cheeks
Showed me myself
Took away my breath
With cherry-red lips
Gave me life once again”

—Nathaniel Bennet

The twists were so amazing and unexpected. Well, I thought at first that they will be expected since a lot of people didn’t like this book, so I thought it might be because of this. However; this wasn’t the case. There were many twists that you can’t think of them, and that poem especially has flipped my brain for real, considering to whom we think it is written for at the beginning of the story, and then discovering to whom it was originally written is such a Boom.


I enjoyed the book to be honest and I don’t regret giving it a chance. It is not like it’s my favorite of all times or anything, this book feels fine and maybe 3 stars is enough, but I am giving it a plus since I judged it by people’s opinions. If I have read it with higher expectation I would have gave it less, because obviously I am sure it wouldn’t reach or match my expectation.
