If you like unreliable narrators, you must read Wish Her Safe at Home by Stephen Benetar. It is a reissue of a 1982 novel, now a NYRB Classic. You will not be disappointed. For an older book, it is strangely modern.

If you want to read a great book, read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Its really good. It really gives you an insight on what some people (mainly Jay Gatsby) are willing to do in order to raise up in social status.

This book was one of the worst books I have ever read. I really thought this book was going to be amazing, guess I was wrong.Looks (the cover) are deceiving.

This book totally had me up all night. I usually hate unreliable narrator books but… this one changed my mind.

[...] 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!
