The writing is no doubt great. It is the story and the characters that I have a problem with. The girl is nothing but a creepy stalker. The way she describes her overpowering wanting for her teacher just makes me want to shake her up and push some sense into her head. It is not even that she's trying to get to know her teacher by talking to him and participating in his class. Oh no no no! This girl has to go around showing him how ready she's to get intimate with him. And guess what? He has the same feelings for her. They're both lucky that they aren't dealing with destructive psychopaths given the way they randomly start going out. 
 On the whole the story left me frustrated. Is it sensuous? Of course yes! But is there anything else going for the book? I don't think so. But then that is my opinion and nobody needs to agree with it.
