Book Reviews of Teacher Man: A Memoir

Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars

I liked his other books much more. I thought this book would be stories about teaching and his individual students' struggles to learn, his relationships with them, etc. Instead, it seemed to be just a platform to tell more stories of his life, in that he would tell his life stories to his students, because the students wanted to hear stories rather than the subject he was teaching.

It wasn't really what I was expecting and I believe he used most of his best stories of his childhood and youth in the first two books.
