Liar

Liar
By: Justine Larbalestier
The text in this book is different. It will go from one thing straight to the next. I never really thought I would be able to understand it clearly or even like the text. As I was reading further into the book, it became more interesting to where I was unable to put it down. The author makes it seem that it is all realistic. Those are the kinds of books I will read if I even read. I believe it’s because it can relate to our lives is why I like it. The exact same issues that are in the book could be the issues in other’s lives as well. The words are not too complicated for readers, and if they are difficult, it does not take much to figure out the meaning.  Reading more into the book and thinking about it, I remember the beginning when she was saying she was done with the lying, but that was a lie. This makes me wonder if the actual writer of the book lies in real life because that is what the whole book is based off of. Usually authors tend to write about their own lives or similar, so it makes me think that she is very unfaithful and unreliable. However, for some apparent reason, I am thinking that somewhere in the rest of this novel there will be a turn around. It could be a very good turn around. I could be wrong, but it’s a good thought.

  1. There will be a "turnaround," and I'll be very interested to hear your thoughts on it.

    We will continue to talk about the "unreliable" narrator. If you decide to read the novel Room in the second part of the semester, we'll talk about the same issue--a five year old boy as narrator. Unreliable?
