Review Detail

Devastatingly beautiful and tragic. I started reading We Were Liars while on a train ride to NYC. As I got further into the story I found myself happy there was a train delay - I needed to finish this book. What started off as "I will just read a few chapters," turned into " I cannot leave this train until I finish!"While not your typical suspenseful page turner, I found myself so entrenched in the story that I had to keep reading- I had to find out how all the pieces fit together.

The best way to read this book is to go in blind. The one thing that made this book enjoyable was not knowing too much about the plot and trying to piece together the puzzle pieces as the story went on. With this in mind- I am trying to make this review as vague as possible while still being specific.

What I loved the most- the large cast and dark and twisted fairy tale feel of the entire story. The fairy tale imagery gave the story a different feel and moved the story along. The writing- words cannot explain- it is beautiful and almost poetic,keeping readers completely intrigued.

We Were Liars is a great book to read with a bunch of friends- unravel the mysteries and have someone to talk to after you finish the last page.This is a perfect summer read, everything you could ask for wrapped up in one great novel!
