Review: Light-hearted read but not literature
Rating: 3 out of 5

Taken at the surface level this is a funny story about a useless secondary school teacher who seeks promotion by cheating, bribing the children and generally bunking off as often as he can.  I sincerely hope this is fiction!  It’s fine at a light-hearted level but if you go into the story you don’t find any sympathetic characters so if that matters to you, you’ll not get on so well with this.I note that the author is a teacher.  Not a teacher of English, I hope.  Another reviewer has already pointed out the mass of ‘was sat’ and ‘was stood’ errors and there’s also some rather iffy syntax in places.  Good for a light-hearted frothy read but it’s not literature.
