![]() ![]() There was an attraction between two young kids that works, and is oddly realistic (in terms of the rest of the stuff that's going on). In it's favour - there's sod all swooning romance in sight, that vampire / sighing romance thing that's around at the moment being my most particular pet-loathing. It's well written, I can see how it would be extremely engaging. It's presented well (I'm sure that sinking feeling of the obvious that I felt as things started to reveal themselves was just my problem). ![]() Having said that, I could see how it might work for lots (okay well probably most) other readers. I am, however, not completely opposed to the entire "other", the mystical or inexplicable (otherwise a couple of my all time favourite books are completely unfathomable), but I am twitchy about these things. I should also declare that I'm profoundly and very dogmatically allergic to some aspects of the "fantastic". I should declare I'm not 100% sure I know why I was reading a book that's so obviously for young adults as LIAR is. It's been a Long Time since I was a young adult - or whatever it was that they called us in those days. ![]()
