Goodbye, Mr. Chips

Author: James Hilton
Stars: 4
Review by: Shapoppa


A classic sentimental novella set in the early 1900s about a British school teacher, Mr. Chipping, who is respected and revered by both students and faculty at an all boys grammar school. This book was popular during its day in the early 1930s, but by today's literary standards, it's too bad it was a novella and not a full-length novel because the story finished too quickly and would have been better if it delved more deeply into characterization, plot, and storyline. Still, if you're looking for a quick read that has heart, you're sure to enjoy this.
