Review on We Were Liars.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. I really liked this book because it has a very good use of imagery. An example of this is on page 77 and it says “ The witch swings the statue again and hits above my right ear, smashing my skull. Blow after blow she lands, until tiny flakes of bone litter the bed and mingle with chipped bits of her once-beautiful goose. “ Cadence has really bad migraines from her head injury. In this part of the book she is having a migraine and is explaining what it feels like to her. I also found that It was a little confusing and hard to follow at some points but, usually you could figure out where everything connected. An example of this is on page 5 and it says “That June, summer fifteen, Dad announced he was leaving and departed two days later. … Then he pulled out a handgun and shot me in the chest.” At this point I was really confused. Since it was so early in the book I didn't understand how she had already died. I realized later that she did not die but it was another case of imagery. Her father was leaving her and it felt like he had shot her in the chest. This book is very intriguing and interesting, so you want to keep reading so you can figure out what will happen and piece together the puzzle.
