Reading “Liar” has changed the way I feel about reading books. I sometimes find myself reading wherever I go. I read it at school and at home most times. To start me off reading my mom and cousin bought me Pokémon books. I never could finish one because they had pictures. I found the pictures more interesting than the words. That’s the major difference between reading then and now. In Liar there were no pictures, so I had to look deeper into the context to understand what was going on. I can say that my reading comprehension has gotten a lot better. It was a struggle for me to stay interested in the book after she says that she was a werewolf. I lost interest and that’s when I was reading without thinking. But Liar has helped me out with my reading comprehension. I don’t use my fingers to help me read anymore. I can read with my eyes wondering off to another sentence. The only time I use my finger is when I am sleepy. Other than that, I can read without them. Depending on my mood and what time it is determines how fast I read. If it’s at night, I try to rush through it and read fast. If it’s in the afternoon I take my time and really try to understand what is going on in the story. The hardest thing about reading to me is just time. I don’t like spending a lot of time reading.
