Summary: An underrated classic
Review: This clever satire is unforgettable--if you get into it and let it work its magic. Miss Brodie is not to be taken at face value; the members of her "set" start out admiring her and then gradually find out her dark side as they come of age, move away from her, and even turn against her and betray her--and we can understand why.

Summary: The Prime of Muriel Spark
Review: When I went into my school's library to pick out an independent reading book, I asked my librarian for some recommendations. I showed her my list and right off the bat she picked out The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark. She said it was a beautiful book and so interesting that she could not put it down. I was skeptical until I found it and saw that it wasn't very long. I used to love reading, but I always found the recommended books (especially the ones on the reading list) exceedingly boring.I started reading this book and I immediately connected with the young girls' love for their teacher and their naive views of life. I wasn't expecting these girls to speak of issues such as sex and love. They seemed to be quite interested in their teacher's love life. The setting of this book is mainly within the school where Miss Brodie teaches. Throughout this book Miss Brodie is said to be in her "prime" which I didn't really quite catch on to until later in the novel...... I didn't see a huge turning point, or any climax whatsoever. The book seemed to talk about the lives of the girls while they were young, and eventually in their own prime. It also shows these girls while they are older and no longer talk to Miss Jean Brodie. ..This book was an excellent read and I was very surprised with its turnout. It is the perfect book for any woman.
