"Liar" 2/22/11

So far this book has really made me realize how much lying can cause people to not trust you at all. I do not believe a word Micah says, and it makes it hard to trust her now and wonder if she really is telling the truth after all. I think that some of the parts are true and others she is still lying about. One reason is at the beginning of the book she told us that she was Zach's girlfriend, and now all of a sudden when she talks to the cops, and to Sarah they were never dating. That is what makes me think that she is still lying. So far in the book I dont know if i would recommend it to someone, but we are only half way through and we still don't really know what is going on besides the fact that she used to lie and that Zach was found dead. So I cant really judge it until I am completely finished with it. I think that one reason many people dislike Micah is because she was known for lying so much, and everyone in her own school thinks she is a liar. Another thing im really confused about is; what exactly is the family illness that part always confuses me? Is it the lying, or what exactly is it. Deep down I feel like Micah knows a lot more about Zachs death than she is letting people believe. Not so much that she killed him, but that she might know who did, or she is lying about it. Thats one thing that makes it easy to believe bad, or think negative about someone who lies, because deep down none of us really know who she is, and if she is ever telling us the truth, so for me at least it is easy to believe that she could possibly be the killer, or that she at least knows something about it.
