What was your first encounter with the book like?
The book I’m reading is The Book of Lies by Brad Meltzer, and so far it is an amazing book. Thinking back, I haven’t picked up a book that wasn’t for school in the past year, so it is nice to finally not have to dread reading a book, and being forced to read a certain amount each night. Book of Lies opens up half way through a chase for a mythical book, and it gives no hints as to what has happened in the past. The author leaves it to the reader to figure it out. Though some readers may find this annoying or hard, I love it. It keeps me interested in the novel and lets my imagination roam. A few pages in and already someone is being tortured for information then killed slowly, I have read 75 pages and almost every page has been filled with energy. And this is not just physical, some of it is mental, which brings a whole new aspect to the novel and its characters. This may not be appealing for all readers but I think its fun trying to make sense of the conflicts while backfilling for what happened before the book started. All in all, Book of Lies keeps the reader locked in and flipping the pages a mile a minute.
