The book “Liar” has really become interesting to me. From the first page, I knew I was going to be interested. The way the book is written is unique. Instead of the standard chapter 1 chapter 2 way, it uses something new as in before, after, and history. That’s something else that caught my eye.

The book really gets on the issue of lying. Even though it is in 1^st person, it still points out what lies can do and why you shouldn’t lie. It shows that with 1 lie you have to lie again to cover up the 1^st lie. Micah is a good example of why lying is bad. She has been lying her whole life. Every time she opens her mouth she lies. The book shows what type of trouble liars get themselves into.

I like the text because of the story line. I like how the author has Micah telling us the story. Most stories are in 2^nd or 3^rd person and that is what makes Liar stand out. I like how she has Micah promise the readers that she will not lie while telling us her life story. The author really put a lot of realness in the book, especially in the characters. It seems as if the author had been through this herself.

With Liar being the 1^st book I have read, I really like it so far. I actually pictured the scenes in my head as I was reading them. The book caught my attention as soon as I started to read it.
