Book of Lies submitted by emjane on July 14, 2012, 7:25pm A somewhat diappointing read, Mary Gorlock's The Book of Lies could use a little polishing.

Cat, a teen living on the small island of Guernsey, has a rather miserable existance. She's overweight, unhappy, drinks and parties too often, and, oh yes, has killed her best friend, Nic. Throughout the course of the book, the circumstances surround both Nic's death, and the death of Cat's father, are slowly revealed. The highlight of The Book of Lies is the strong sense of place that the book has-- the quirks and characteristics of Guernsey and its residents come through.

However, none of the book's characters were particularly likable, and the whole thing read a bit too sensational. Only recommended to those drawn by the general plot.
