Review: The Lying Game


My first review of the New Year is Sara Shepard's The Lying Game!

Remember how last year I did Top Ten Points for each book? I'm going to continue to do that, plus add a book-rating system (instead of using stars) and recommendation ideas!


TTP: The Lying Game

  1. If you loved Pretty Little Liars, you will love this next series!
  2. The narrator is the other twin sister, it can become confusing at times to remember who is speaking, but usually it's pretty clear.
  3. I kept on thinking the book was going to end and all the answers would be revealed, but it leaves you on a total cliffhanger!
  4. The vocabulary and writing style of the book is fairly simple and very easy to understand!
  5. The chapters are only a few pages each, which is my favorite way that authors do chapters. It helps to break it up a little more.
  6. I might also add that I love when authors have clever titles for the chapters as Sara Shepard does! 
  7. I love the quote at the very beginning of the book:
      • "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." -- Kurt Vonnegut
  8. Plus, this book is filled details about the life of luxury which I love to read about in book series such as The Clique (Lisi Harrison) and Violet (Melissa C. Walker). 
  9. Honestly, I was on edge till the very last page and I cannot wait for the next book!
  10. I read this book in one whole day. The whole thing. I could not put it down!!!

5-Book Rating System

I give The Lying Game
                            
4 out of 5 books!


Who Should Read This?
  • Anyone who loved Pretty Little Liars
  • Anyone who loves mystery involving murder and drama
  • Anyone who likes to read about other girls and luxurious living.
  • I would recommend this book mainly to girls because it appeals more to the feminine mind

What's Next for this Author?
  • Be sure to check out the next season of Pretty Little Liars premiering this Monday, January 3 on ABC family! I'm addicted!
  • You can follow Sara Shepard on Twitter: here! She's following me!!! Eeek! :D
  • The next book in The Lying Game series is Never Have I Ever, expected to be published April 8, 2011. 


Thanks for checking out my book review guys!
Hope everyone had a great start to the New Year! 
I look forward to reading many new books this year, last year I read 33 books thanks to my timeline on shelfari.com
