Killing Mr. Griffin is written by the author of I Know What You Did Last Summer, and reads just like the movie. I was disappointed to see the other book mentioned on the cover, because then I would not have read Killing Mr. Griffin like I was watching IKWYDLS.
The plot is simple: a group of teenagers try to get revenge on a teacher they don't like, so they decide to "scare" their Literature teacher into going easier on them prior to graduating so they aren't held back. And just like the title says, things start going wrong.
I appreciated that the book didn't slow down and obsess over details. At approximately the halfway point, I got really into the book, and couldn't put it down. Duncan did a very good job with wrapping the book up, and tying all of the loose ends.
I would recommend this book to someone who is looking for a book full of action or a psychological thriller, but not necessarily with bodies dropping dead everywhere.

Quotes from the novel:
“She heard her voice speaking the word, and her heart rose suddenly into her throat. Had she really said it? Had she actually agreed to this insanity?”
