The title of the novel is Lair. The title gives you hints at what the novel could be about. With this title it gives you a hint that the novel is about a person who lies but you do not realize how much Micah actually lies. At the begin of the book she tells you that she is going to tell you the truth but it is hard to believe that since in the entire book she lies. She lies about everything, makes it sound like she is telling you the truth, but she is not or at least not the whole truth. But as I read on she tells you something so unbelievable and expects you to believe that it is the truth, but I cannot believe that it is the truth. It is so unreal that I do not know what to think she lies about everything why not this too. It makes you wonder though if it is the truth and she lies so much just to hide it from everyone else. It she tells so many outrages lie that if they find this out and it this secret spreads then no one will believe her because she always lies, so why would this be any truer than anything else that comes out of her mouth? This title I would have to say really fits the book like a glove. Since all she does is lie and you do not know what to believe in the whole book.

I have been reading the book Lair, which I would have to say, is very interesting. This book makes me think about people, and how others lie. I have always been someone that believe the best in people, and never think otherwise, or that they could be lying, but reading this makes me think about how easy it is to lie, and why they do it. The main character has to be hiding something, because I cannot think of any other reason why she would lie. I believe this because it is always easier to lie then to tell the truth, so I wonder what she is hiding. Did she do something that she does not want others to know, or does she know what happened to Zach, and is afraid to tell someone? I think these are all very good things to think about, I want to keep reading on in this book, but I do not want to read too far ahead, because I am horrible at keeping it to myself. I would want to tell everyone or give hints on what happens next, so I have to be careful. But I do wonder if I know anyone like her and I just did not realize it, or if I am going to meet someone like her, and what would I do if I did. It is all stuff that I think about. I do not think she would make a very good friend without knowing her past, so that you can understand her and why she does that.

Liar

“I will tell you my story and I will tell it straight. No lies, no omissions”, said Micah the main character. This sentence is what really starts the book off, since it is on the first page, which tells you right away that she lies all the time, it comes to her so easy. She lies, but you find that out, she lets everyone believe she is a boy for example. Micah wants to turn a new leaf and change things she wants to start telling the truth which from my understanding is what the novel is about. The novel is about her past and how she lied, and the present, and how she is telling the readers the truth of what happened. She is telling the whole truth and nothing more threw the entire novel. It begins with her in the present, and how people feel about her, and how they all say she always lies, they all know it. So now she needs to prove to everyone that she wants to start telling the truth. From my point of view she makes a promise to herself that she will not lie in the story. She will tell the truth and nothing more or nothing less too. Telling the truth is what she promises in that sentence that is what the whole novel is about. That sentence is what embodies the entire novel. No lies, no omissions, so in this novel it will be the truth about Micah, and nothing less.
