Book Reviews of The Professor (Penguin Classics)

Book Review: A SO-SO NOVEL
Summary: 3 Stars

The Professor concerns the trials and tribulations of a young man growing up - choosing his career and dealing with the loves in his life. The hero of the book makes many wrong moves in choosing his life career, but finally ends up as a professor - and part time in an all girl's school. His adventures multiply here, as he runs into various difficulties with the school mistress and the various female students in the school.

A good bit of the story revolves around his falling in love - briefly, first with the school head mistress, then with one of his pupils.

The book is beautifully written, not that spell-binding, but not completely uninteresing, either. If you enjoy the Bronte sisters, then do read this book.
