Secrets, Lies, Murder & Betrayal

Hands down, liar has been one of the most fascinating and amazing novels I have ever read in my entire life. It is the first novel that gets you thinking a lot. My brain was spinning a lot doing my reading sessions. Usually when you read novels you can easily estimate the ending or have an idea on how it will end. Whether it will be a happy ending or a sad one. Whichever way it goes, it has an ending. Liar didn't have that. Everyone who reads liar has to make their own ending depending on how they interpreted the book. With the way the novel leaves me in suspense, I would really have loved a part two of the book or even a movie to help me understand the story, a little bit better. When you think you have figured out where the novel is going, its takes a 360 degrees turn on you. Its like taking a roller coaster ride.

My ending of the novel is as follows; One thing I have finally accepted is that Micah is psycho and emotionally broken down caused by an incidence with Jordan or Zach. She is in a mental hospital and she has all these visions about what she wished her life would be like which involves the werewolf illusions, the love relationships and relationship with her parents. The pill she takes helps to keep her on a normal state. The cage she had mentioned is her small room in the mental hospital where she is placed whenever she doesn't take the pill. The hospital is upstate were she claims is the Greats' farm, the is no noise, no electricity, no technology. The greats are probably her nurses at the hospital and her uncle Hilliard and cousins are the nicknames she has given to the other patients there. Something else I have realized is that everything she says is true, is a lie so I'm thinking everything she says is a lie must be the truth, it's more like reverse psychology.

  1. I love this post! And I agree with you. Liar is a book that never gets old because there are so many possible interpretations. When we discuss the ending, I'm going to want you to share yours with the class. Good work, Chanda.
