I bought this book because I thought it might be a fun read but I was terribly disappointed. The characters are one-dimensional and extremely boring and the plot is riduculously stupid. The ending is something like you might read in one of my seventh grade students' favorite books. As a teacher, I felt that Quinn and Bill's professional lives were nothing like any teacher I know. I'm a dog lover and I didn't even like the dog. If you feel compelled to read this book just grab one of the Sweet Valley High Series books--they are a quicker read and will leave you about as fulfilled.
