The Secret to Lying by Todd Mitchell
4.0
Epic Wins: (What I loved about the book!)
- The message: That sometime we are our own worst enemy and that we have choices to make in life that are ours alone.
- Like I said with It Started with a Dare, lying sucks! James has to lie and twist the truth till he doesn’t know who he is and has to find himself; he does this through his dreams.
- James: When he wasn’t lying he was pretty funny, made me laugh a lot.
- All the crazy pranks that him and his roommate (Dickie, a guy who speaks in a British accent and loves to laugh) play on people or performed for people.
- Ghost44: I knew it was her! The whole time I knew it! To know exactly who she is you’ll have to read. She was my favorite.
- His hair-brain parents left a few laughs. I like how he called his mother moms because of her multiple personalities. :)
Epic Fails: (please remember: this isn’t fails just weird oddities I found or stuff I didn’t like about the book, I just thought the name fit well with my blog)
- Ellie: She had an attitude like no other but I suppose that is where she got the nick name ‘Ice Queen’.
- Drinking, never a good thing when mixed with hypothermia.
- Lying, not a big fan of the constant tales he comes up with but I respect it, it had to be done.
- Sex: I’m actually really mad that this came up; I was on a streak of clean lit. Oh well!
- How he treated poor Jess! She was probably mess up mentally when he was done with her. (of course she is just a character in a book so why I care is beyond me)
Overall:
Like a work of art, sometimes you don’t like the look but you respect the message. That makes it mean more to you. After this and It started with a Dare, I think I won’t ever lie again even little white lies! So go find out who ghost44 is already!
just sayin,
