Liar

Liar by Justine Larbalestier is a book that is hard to describe.

Micah Wilkins is a compulsive liar. She lives in NYC and goes to a private high school. Everything else in the book could be true or it could be one of her many lies. She is an admitted liar whose family has been telling lies for generations.

I do not know what to say about this book since it is hard to tell what is true and what is made up (ignoring the fact that it is all fiction). It could be that Micah is telling her whole story from a padded cell somewhere or it could be that the stranger parts are true.

Larbalestier has done a great job in writing a book that will leave readers thinking. There is likely more than one opinion of what really happened.
