The title of this book is self explainatory. only one word is used for the title and its capitalization of each letter even has a meaning. To me, the title tells me that characrers in this novel really must lie alot. the main character in the novel is a girl called Micha and she is a BIG LIAR who dont care about the level of impact her lies have on others around her. She is downright misleading and deceptive. Micha also has the ability to lie, get caught, and use another lie to cover the first to make you think she didnt completely lie and so forth. for example, she was exposed she eas exposed for pretending to be a girl and she immediately to a friend that she was born a hemarphrodite. she will do anyhting to get out of being caught lying. One phrase in the book i like is when she says" I wont lie",(to the reader). Seems she is trying to convince us to confuse the reader. Another phrase is, "the Greats". She explained how she used a mnumonic devise to remember her great aunt and Great grandmother. Another phrase she used is "my next big lie". Shes saying that she will continue to lie throughout the book .Also in the book she states that one of her friends said that another friend tells her everthing.Micha immediately reconizes that people dont tell everthing. The text in this book does jump around but is good for building lots of suspence to keep the reader reading just as planneed.

The truth will set you free to fly
