it was amazing

A lot of people have complained that this book is a cliche, but I think it's really playing on cliches--political correctness on college campuses, male creative writing teacher / female student. I really felt for the professor at parts of the novel. He really seems to care if his student is writing "creative" work or if she is a victim of incest asking for help. And at other times, I couldn't stand him. His justifications for "wanting" the student, etc. (But that means he's a well developed character.) I think his getting drawn in and falling for her versus how much she is manipulating him is a terrific tension throughout the novel. I hope that more people will give this book a chance.
