We are Liars was an overall good read. Definitely in the vein of Drowning Ruth and other books about mysterious families, which I enjoy. I love a good mystery about a family with money and a legacy and this one unfolds nicely. Not a masterful read but a good one. I particularly like the short stories about the king and his three daughters that held hidden meanings and themes. Like someone else said, it was m'eh but I believe their was potential for fantastic. I am happy we moved this one forward.
Sister mine was horrific and in all honestly I only needed about 3 chapters to know that. This book was not worth my time to finish so I bailed. I will admit I am a book bailer. I will not finish a book just because. The author needs to hook me in order to have my valuable time and this book failed miserably.
P.S-Super disappointed the I'll Give You the Sun didn't move on. I was looking forward to reading that!
We wanted to create a way where we could read a few books, learn about many titles and have fun doing it! The tournament style reading of the Mighty Smackdown means that in the first round each participant reads two books, discusses both in a blog post, selecting one book to move on to the next round. Teachers are asked to commit to one round but most, if not all, continue on. We will read to the end when we will have only one book left standing!
