why I dont like the book

There are a few things that I do not like about this book simply because it does not seem to be an attention getter for me. One of the reasons that I did not care for this book is that it is not the traditional style of writing. I do not like how the book jumps back and forth. And the fact that it talks about how this boy comes up missing then jumps back to the beginning, she then touches a little on her family issues. I would have preferred if she would have just explained how she does not care for her family and how she is a freshman and then work her way up to the events of Zach’s death. Because this story jumps back and forth this makes my head hurt. It so boring how the story is making you wait till the end to find out what happens to Zach. This book makes Micah out to be a loony and she is not all clear about how she and Zach actually began. I guess I’m confused about how she is a liar, is the whole book a mimic of her imagination and does it all seem to be a lie…I don’t like the fact that we don’t know if she is crazy and making all this up or is this really a girl who is going through all these trials and trial and tribulations..I guess overall I am just confused and it is causing me to not care for the novel.

  1. Bianca, these observations/reactions are completely justified! As I shared with you, I'm not sure I "liked" the book. I just know I was interested.

    Reading "Liar" is as much about the text itself as your relationship to it. In other words, you're reacting exactly like I want you to. :)
