acedimski 's review for:
We Were Liars
by E. Lockhart
One word: Fuck.
Two words: Mind fucked.
Three words: Mind is fucked.
Four words: MY Mind is fucked.
That's how I feel. My mind is completely blown away. This is .. Wow ..!
The book started .. Well ... Okay. It seemed like a well-told story and I loved the writing style because it was different, not the usual. I enjoyed the story and felt curious about the accident, but I wasn't really hooked from the beginning. I needed my time, even though I read this book really fast. I knew there was a plot twist. And I've been guessing it the whole time.
Did I guess correctly? Of course not.
The ending was mindfucking and I must say that no matter how weird and confusing it started, no matter how sceptical I felt towards this book, it truly deserves every praise which it has gotten. It definitely made me think and more important than that, it will stuck in my mind. I won't forget it, I'm aware of that.
An amazing stand-alone novel.
I'm niw over-thinking the whole novel. Is it 4 or 5 stars worth and I can't tell. Because I loved the ending as much as I hated it because .. Hello?! PLOT TWIST!! And I wanted Cady to have a Happy Ending .. With Gat and her illness. However, somehow she has gotten her happy ending, she found peace - after everything she remembered and after all that pain. And I have to respect that girl!!
I also loved how E. Lockkhart used the term "Liars", how she made us think what we thought about them until we found out the truth. I must say that I haven't even realized what was going on after reading chapter 80 - the first chapter of the last part called "truth" - it was completely unbelievable to me and I haven't been able to realize it until Cady remembered - and that's how she explained - everything.
Well done, E. Lockhart!
You got me!
It definitely somehow became my favourite stand-alone novel (John Green's books are not included in that).
The story. The topics - rich family, when are we happy? What do we need in life? Love, Money, Family, an own island? - the characters, especially the protagonist - Cadence.
Everything. Just perfect. No matter how sceptical I was when I started reading it. It grew to me. I love it.
The whole novel is - to quote John Green, who's praise made me finally buy that book (Thanks, John!!!!!) - truly "utterly unforgetable".
