Goodbye Mr. Chips by James Hilton
4.0
I can't really justify it, but I thoroughly enjoy James Hilton. I am fully aware that he is over sentimental, and probably could be compared to Nicholas Sparks et al, but I just find his works charming and enjoyed re-reading this book as much as I did the first time.
The story is the tale of Mr. Chipping, a young man who begins teaching at a moderately respectable and aged school in England. We follow his aging, the boys he teaches and the lives he changes, and continue into his old age. It's schmaltzy, but Hilton does a good job of describing the scenes and moving form laughter to sadness.
A guilty pleasure, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
