I felt that the love between Nine and her teacher was not very adventurous ...By CustomerI have finished reading this book in two days. Would have finished sooner if my mother did not keep me so occupied. I have to say, I have not read another teacher/student relationship novel such as this one.

2. This novel was a roller coaster of emotions, and once I reached the ending, I had no idea what to feel. Personally, I felt that the love between Nine and her teacher was not very adventurous or romantic-- despite the fact that they did have sex. Regrettably, it started getting interesting once her teacher said, "Everything has to stop." They rushed into a relationship, but it ended as fast as it started. I liked how the author kept referring back to Emily Dickinson- the famous poet (who is the teacher's favorite poet in the novel). The novel has some pretty advanced vocabulary packed in it, including some science terms. You guys may as well get on the Google highway for some of the terms. However, I found myself a little lost at times, and got myself off track with the novel due to its complexity. I completely sympathized Nine in the novel; I fell in love with a teacher as well, and kind of virtually stalk him up to this day, so I know how it is. But nowhere near bizarre to Nine's extent. At times, the novel made me angry (to the point where I actually wanted to throw it). It also made me get on the verge of tears, it made me laugh, it made me everything. It truly did feel as if I was Nine, but could not help but imagine my teacher as Mr. Mann. One thing I appreciated about the novel is its realistic plot. The ending was definitely realistic, but I felt as it if could have ended in a more creative... slow way. I miss the characters already!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The book I've been searching for since LolitaBy PaigeSo far, the best, most thrilling book I've ever read. I never like girl protagonists because they're either too bitchy or self-hating and cookie-cutter, but this girl is phenomenal. Smart, mature, insane, funny. Her descent into chaos is steady. Her obsession relatable. At least at first and in terms of what a crossed girl wants to do but just dreams about doing. The metaphors/science-y theme is tight. There's never a dull moment. So much poetry and macabre beauty.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I still love it.By Dannielle HardenstineI read this book in high school for the first time and 10 years later, I still love it. Teach Me invites readers inside an experience that fascinates everyonean affair between a teacher and studentand gives an up-close-and-personal answer to the question: How does this happen? The hardcover edition of Teach Me was a Booksense Fall 2006 Kids Pick, a TeenReads.com Best Book of 2005, and a selection for the 2006 NYPL Books for the Teen Age. From School Library JournalGrade 9 UpCarolina is a high-school senior who feels she is too smart and mature for small-town Alabama life. Then she meets Mr. Mann, the new language arts teacher who is obsessed with Emily Dickinson. After she makes him feel at ease in his new job, she feels he is worthy of her attention, and the two begin an intense, clandestine affair, which is consummated on her 18th birthday. The love ends devastatingly for the teen when Mr. Mann suddenly dumps her and quickly marries another woman right before graduation. Carolina finally confides in her best friend, Schuyler, and he helps her try to figure out who Mr. Mann is and why he acted as he did. Nelson's writing is wonderfully eloquent and full of poetic references and wry humor, yet the plot and characters are occasionally chaotic. It is difficult to identify with Carolina, who not only thinks she's better than everyone else, but also goes to extreme lengths to seek revenge on her former lover. Mr. Mann is no more sympathetic. As his mystery unravels, readers discover, along with Carolina, how dull he is. Still, the story is juicy and cautionary without being preachy, which gives it wide teen appeal.Jane Cronkhite, Cuyahoga County Public Library, OH Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.From BooklistGr. 9-12. High-school senior Carolina (" Nine") is longing for something, and it appears in the form of her English teacher, Mr. Mann. They dance around each other, until Mr. Mann takes the first step in Nine's direction, and on her eighteenth birthday, they consummate their relationship. Several months later Mr. Mann abruptly ends it, refusing to give a reason. Nine's quest to find out why he has left her becomes manic, leading her to childish, unpredictable, almost dangerous behavior. Nelson treads new territory here, and she does some things remarkably for a first novelist. She eloquently captures both the yearning that comes with loving someone who doesn't seem attainable and the utter despair when the affair ends. The plotting, on the other hand, leaves something to be desired. There's no reason why Mr. Mann shouldn't reveal his reasons for suddenly marrying someone else, other than to push the action. Moreover, the melodramatic ending, which allows Mr. Mann to be a hero, rings false on several levels. However, teens--who often long for passion themselves--will recognize the fury of it in Nine's story. Ilene CooperCopyright American Library Association.
