I loved this book, I was reading it until 2am and I found it really really hard to put down, I needed sleep but I would have gladly read through the night!
The wording and the emotions that were written into the story make it so gripping, and you find yourself entering the main character, Nine's world and you feel her emotions too.
Nine is a young woman who was drawn into a relationship with her teacher, but when he dumps her so bluntly and so out of the blue, she becomes determined to find out why he left her whilst trying to deal with the new emotions that come from the fact that she is completely heartbroken.
A really amazing novel, and even after I finished it, I found myself thinking about it for days, I just loved it.

Most of all, I really loved the main character - Carolina "Nine" Livingstone - she was not at all clichéd in describing her feelings, instead her unique take on things made the book interesting for me, eg. her references to space and weather in eloquently put ways.
In terms of the storyline, I think it was not the run of the mill love-at-first-sight realtionship, but built up the emotion between the teacher and student over the book. One example of the couple's unique charm is things like their love of Emily Dickinson poetry and the fact Nine is taller than Mr Mann. I think the story becomes heavily weighted on only telling the story of Nine and Mr Mann but this is well told, so it makes up for it.
Overall, I recommend this to teens or hopeless romantics, since the close scenes between the teacher and student are told with a lot of gut feeling, or people who like emotionally charged stories, as this one certainly has plenty of grit in places.

I purchased this book as I am currently working on a project at college concerning the role of the teacher in literature. Whilst it has helped me with my project in that it charts a sexual pupil-teacher relationship and allows reasonable lexical analysis of this, I dislike it intensely as a novel.
I am afraid to say that it uses what I would deem 'impact writing' that I seem to find in so many modern American novels - i.e. one word sentences, 'dramatic' chapter openings, etc. I do not personally enjoy this style of writing. The lexis throughout is rather uninspired and contains little description of anything. The plot becomes rather interesting towards the end, with the protagonist becoming more obsessed and frenzied. But I could not truly appreciate this due to the writing style.
It is not 'poetic' enough for me - it has a straightforward writing style and a no-nonsense attitude. If you enjoy a simple novel then this is for you. If not, go read some classics like 'Women In Love'.
