free choice reading

Reading the book liar is really good for me because it is teaching me how to be patient for what happens next in the text. You never know what is going to happen next, it is all so unexpected. This text has stirred up so much emotion within me because I don't know what to believe or think. Micah is a compulsive liar so it keeps me guessing, that's what I like about books. I noticed that the text uses any language; it has actual curse words in it. The text doesn't hold anything back. The text really doesn't tackle anything, it talks about a lot of things but I think its main focus is on who killed Zach and why does Micah lie about everything for no reason at all. As of now, I really just want to know how Zach died, and why did he die?? I learned a lot from the text, I learned how somebody can be hated so much by the school but she stills stays strong through it all, I think that is so brave of Micah, she is always so calm about everything. I don't think she has any feelings because she lets so many of her peers get by with saying so many bad things about her and her family. As of now, while i am still reading the text I love every minute of it, i love the way Justin Larbalestier writes his story. This is the type of story that keeps you reading and makes you never want to stop reading. I love every minute of this story. It’s a wonderful book. It just goes to show that some students really do go through the same situations that Micah is going through!! Some questions I have about the book is;1. Why does Sarah continue to mess with Micah?2. Why would the students call Micah a murderer?3. Why did Zach cheat on Sarah in the first place?4. Does Brandon have a thing for Micah?

  1. lol. Your first sentence makes me giggle. It almost sounds like your saying I'm waiting for this book to get better. I think it gets better right after our last reading assignment. It definently gets interesting.
