Sort of funny. Sort of heartfelt. Sort of rote. A quick pick for reluctant readers maybe. ( )

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Stop the presses. How did I miss this? Why aren't kids grabbing this just at fast as they grab Angleberger and Patterson books? I'm a huge [b: Hatchet|50|Hatchet|Gary Paulsen|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1385297074s/50.jpg|1158125] fan and I had no idea Paulsen is so funny. I guess everyone else also has no idea.

So here's the deal. Kevin lies. A lot. But he's convinced himself that he's actually doing the world a service. Why? Because lies do one of two things. 1) They make people happier and 2) they help people learn valuable lessons. People love him, because he is so good at lying. He's just discovered the wonderfully, exceptional Tina and he's going to use his expert lying skills to convince her that he is the perfect boyfriend.

Paulsen proves he's a pro at this humor thing. I'll be pushing this one now that I've read it. ( )

Liar, Liar is about a boy named Kevin who has a crush on a girl. He tries to get out of five classes every day of the week so he can try to get to know her better. He lies to the teachers to get out of class. In the end, he gets in a lot of trouble and learns a lesson not to lie to other people.

I didn't really like this book too much because nothing much was really happening. I found it very boring. It was not exciting. ( )

I did not like this book. I don't like this book because it was awful. It was not clear on what was going on.

The book was about a boy who lied a lot. He lied to Katie about being sick. He also ended up liking a girl. He skipped his classes to see her and lied in the process. He got caught and sent everyone apology letters. The end.
