Urg!

Liar pissed me off. The first part of Liar was alright because it was reality, something that would actually happen in the real world. After she told us she was a wolf I lost it. I definitely wasn’t interested in anything she had to say. Even the 10 little lies she admitted to, I just couldn’t believe her. It makes me realize how it actually applies to us. If we lie, cheat, or steal how can anyone trust us again? It’s hard to get over something the first time. Let alone if the person does it again. It takes a real strong person to forgive someone for doing something over and over. I’d say that’s the only thing I got out of the book. Otherwise I just blame it for late late nights of drinking coffee and trying to keep my eyes open when I could be resting for the next day. Not saying it’s the books fault for making me wait until last second to read. I usually do most my reading at night anyways because I can actually focus and understand what I’m reading. I’m not really sure if I would suggest this book to anyone else. If I would I’d only want to see if they got the same response as I did and if so it’d be for the fun of watching them flip out and get mad at how much of a waste of time the book was. This just goes to say that Justine Larbalestier has a gift of playing with people emotions and a very creative way at that.

  1. You know what, Cari? I'm OK with this. I would rather have you be pissed than bored any day. I knew that Liar would definitely cause some backlash.

    What are you reading next?

  2. I'm going to be reading Hunger Games. I wasn't too thrilled at first because it didn't sound that interesting but of what I started of it it's been pretty good. Just urks me that they'd do this to children!
