Title Definetely Fits!

The title of the book Liar definetely fits and goes along with whats happening in the book. It makes all the since in the world. At first I thought it was kind of a lame and boring title for all the praise the book was getting when we chose what book to read. The book did get most of the votes i but i was still a little unsure about this book. I can now say that after reading most of the book that any different title for the book wouldnt flow with it or be right to me. Literally the book is basically all a lie, and its just so hard to point out whats true and whats not. It seems as if the author is playing a game with the reader. I say this because you find out that Michas little brother is all made up, and Micha says she does it just to see if she could get away with making up a real person. Honestly i beleived in and was kinda shocked and sort of disheartened to keep reading i mean what is real? Everything that she claims happened in reality for the most part is a straight up lie. The title to me is still kind of boring, but i understand why the author chose it. It is a very appropriate title Micha Wilkins is a pathelogical LIAR!

Micha Change

Through page 165 in the book liar, the book actually has kept me more engaged and interested then i orginally thought it would. I have learned alot about the main character Micha Wilkins, and she has changed some since the intro of the book. The reason i say this is becuase she has recently showed the ability to tell the truth about some details dealing with Zachary Rubin and his mysterious death. Although Micha lied to the police about knowing Zach once she actually goes to his funeral i see a change in her. Before it didnt seem like she really cared what people thought or the fact that she was helping Zach cheat on his girlfriend Sarah. After her Tayshawn and Sarah all ditch the funreral, beacuase they couldnt take being at the funereal Tayshawn takes them to spots where him and Zach used to hang. It was during this moment when Micha and Sarah open up more about Zach to eachother and Micha finally admits to sarah she would would go running with Zach and sneak around and see him during the weekend. This admission sort of surprised me because Micha just kept to her self about Zach, and never really bothered to talk to Sarah or anyone about wat her and Zach were. I can just tell that Micha is starting to open up more with Tayshawn and Sarah especially to sort of help cope with his death.

Liar!

The main character of the book LIAR is Micha Wilkens, she is a ver interesting and odd girl.The book describes Micha as a compulsive liar which she says is a hereditary gene she inherited from her father.She often lies but then goes back and tells the reader she is telling the truth so it definelty catches you off guard. In my opinion Micha is weird beacuase of the things that she lies about. One preticular lie she made was telling some of the other students that she is half boy and half girl, which is known as a hermaphrodite. A teacher of hers had her mistakin for a boy so she just decided to go along with it. She kind of uses the lie in a way to meet friends because she doesn not have any friends. Micha is a very shy person who seems to just keep to her self and it doesnt even seem like she wants to make friends. Micha meets three people out of this lie though and one of the people is a guy named Zach Rubin. Micha also lies about her relationship with Zach Rubin especially when he comes up missing and turns out to have been murdered. So far in the book i am pretty critical of Micha Wilkins because of the plethora of lies she tells. The book always has me confused becuase i dont know what she is telling the truth about. Im only on page 65 in the book and i couldnt even tell you how many lies Micha has told but im interested to see what other interesting lies she will tell next.
