[...] At some point half way through the book, there is The Twist or The Big Secret, and it blew my mind away. It sounds like the truth and it explains the first part of the novel and it explains why she lies in the first place. But then again, how can I possibly believe what she tells me, ever?" … (read the full review here) [...]

Recently I read We have Always Lived in the Castle, and thought it had one of the most delicious unreliable narrators around.

I have also been recommended the Tom Ripley books by Patricia Highsmith, although I haven’t had a chance to read them.

I just got it this weekend and it’s on the top of my TBR pile right now, with a couple other. It sounds amazingly good! I love unreliable narrators (and I loved Fight Club and the Usual Suspects!) This book sounds really intriguing, and I am glad, after such a “cover controversy”, that we can now enjoy a wonderful story!

I am reading this SOON!

I love the book TRAP FOR CINDERELLA by Sebastien Japrisot for the unreliable narrator. I mean, she does have amnesia…but still…awesome.

Oh and BAD MONKEYS by Matt Ruff. It doesn’t get much more unreliable than that!

Fight Club is one of my most favorite movies eva. I loved that I thought I knew how things were going, them WHAM! I am definitely picking this book up. I have read so many predictable books lately it will be fun to read something like this.

I love this book. Everyone should read it as soon as it comes out. I got to read an early version last year and I can’t wait to read it again now and try to catch Micah out this time around!

PS: Critting something with an unreliable narrator is near impossible. that’s what I learned.

This is an amazing review.

If you’re into those kind of narrator’s you should definitely check out Trick of the Light by Rob Thurman. You won’t regret it. ^^
