An Enjoyable Psychological Thriller for Teens
Derived From Web , Feb 8, 2022
Killing Mr. Griffin is an older story that is still compelling to read. I had a hard time putting it down when I started. There aren't many psychological thrillers for teens today. It was a nice change of pace. The outcome of the book was predictable but it was still enjoyable and I kept reading to see if I was correct. Killing Mr. Griffin would be a good idea for both teens and adults.

Disappointing
Derived From Web , Jul 31, 2021
I was expecting this to be a young adult novel. It seems like it was written by 5 th graders. This is a great book to give to 4 th-5 th graders. I prefer reading books outside of my age range because of the more complex twists. Not the book for me.

A waste of creativity
Derived From Web , Mar 20, 2020
I didn't like the book. I was unable to finish it. It is a terrible story about killing an innocent person because they do not like the way he teaches. The whole thing is sad because I didn't like one single character and the teacher's wife who was pregnant with their child was also a sad character. I don't understand why anyone would want to use their writing skills to make a sad story. I am angry at myself for picking it up. I thought it would be like people going after a teacher who raped or killed someone and then they would get revenge. Not this, not this.

Good book for the kid who doesn't like to read
Derived From Web , Jun 26, 2018
My 7 th grade student had to read this. He hated reading this book because he loved it. It's hard to find good books for our young men. Great job to the author.

her favorite book? Holy cow
Derived From Web , Jun 2, 2018
Was it bought for a friend? There is a Holy cow. The plot and characters are not well written for youth or adult reading. I think some people love it, not my choice.
