Fantastic Book

Ever since I read this book in high school I have thought it was great. Unfortunately, it went out of print, but it is worth reading or getting a hold of if possible, for yourself or youger people. It is actually geared towards teenagers and children, but because we don't often teach youngsters to understand and be aware of deception it is also has good lessons for adults who were not made aware, as children, how much deception is in the world around us.

Liar Liar pants on fire!

This book tells you about every kind of lie there is! You can really relate to this book, you learn a lot about yourself in reading it and it helps to think honestly about what you have read, that is how you learn! I am a freshman in high school, and as many of you know, its not easy. Sometimes you don't kow who your friends are... This book helped with that because you know more about how and why they lie, more than they do! I have enjoyed this book very much. It has helped me to notice when my family and friends are lying to me. Its made me aware of how media and advertisers lie too. The world is full of lies! I think that anyone, any age, can relate to this book. Everyone is different, and every lie is different. I highly suggest this book!

A great springboard for family discussions.

This book was written primarily to help teenagers cope with the distortions, deceptions, fluff, and outright lies that confront us all, every day. Kincher doesn't preach truth, she illuminates it. Her book is thought provoking ... and fun ... no matter how old you are.
