Liar By: Justine Larbalestier

When I first seen the cover of "Liar" and seen that the class agreed to read this novel, I started having second thoughts about it. The cover didn't seem that interesting. As Stephanie started to read through the book, it started to make more sense. I got a feel for what and who the book is about. So far, I just know it's about a girl who lies about mostly everything. I started examining the book to get more details relating to the title. The back of the book is filled with sentences stating that the girl will not lie anymore. I'm guessing she had to write sentences at school since it's not the first time she lied. It also talked about the murder of her boyfriend so I’m thinking there is going to be a lot of surprises. It's giving me a better understanding about the novel. I believe the author wants to give the readers the idea that the girl is a liar, but doesn't really want to explain what she has lied about and her reasons behind it. I think the author chose Liar for the title because that's what it's about: Lies. The picture has nothing to do with the title so I'm guessing the author put a twist to it. I read the inside of the book to get a better description to what the book is about. I just know the main character is a liar, but it's a reason behind all these lies that we're going to find out. After a little readings and judging the cover, I think this book is going to be the best book I ever read.
