Slough, England:
It is a rare achievement that a corresponding book and its television show are as spectacular as the others We were liars is the unique work of art that removes it.
No one else will tell you, by the way. In order to eat in hours of your time that you will never come back, E Lockhart We were liars Attempt to sell us the story of Cadence Sinclair, its perfect cousins, their tiny private island, their idyllic summer holidays bordered by sun and soaked in sea. There is also a terrible tragedy to which cadence is alluding but does not deign to give us details.
Much of the reason for the reluctance of cadence is that it has no memory of these terrible things, and no one with a completely furant memory in her life judge appropriate to provide answers. In addition, despite the promising title, no one is lying here. Everyone is simply irritating obtuse. Cadence is left to play the detective, forcing you to launch your remote control or the book when it came to its tortuous conclusion. We really have to find a way to heal literary amnesia to save future readers The pain of an incredible inconsistent protagonist who could probably have been pushed by a cliff in the first opportunity.
Unfortunately, not everyone is subscribing to these nasty thoughts on fictitious amnesiacs such as cadence. Booktokkers sent late which were late in the creation of this 2014 bestseller, as well as the Star IDB reviews which fell in love with the first video show of the same name which arrived in June, will conspire to trap you in the horror well which is both the book and the limited series. Do not be the deceived madman who falls in love with their promises of solemn excellence, unless you appreciate the incomplete and imaginatively punctuated sentences of an unreliable adolescent narrator who deploys a torsion that makes you warmly wish to have perished on page 1 – of the book and the script. Consider this warning as a public service.
A hiking waste
If you do not already go beyond gratitude for this simple public service, you should be, because you have now been spared two days to travel through tedious descriptions of the headache induced by our heroine. And don’t think you will be excluded from this headache party if you plan to watch the show! Your show observers will also be able to discover your fair share of We were a liar-headache induced after suffering through close -ups of blinding blond hair and shiny white teeth. Before you are all in your arms, we must specify, we do not discriminate against dental hygiene and shiny hair; What we say is that we should not have to reach sunglasses by being in extreme districts with teeth that dazzle like the sun and dominate the screen, certainly not one that we are in the eyes on these teeth on television instead of our phones.
Be that as it may, the way the trauma has brought to the prey to its pain and pain is not immediately clear; What is certainly clear is that it allows them, and keeps us all in the loop without any thought to lose for commas or, in fact, the punctuation of a description – at least not in the traditional sense. With the scaffolding and structure, the rate sentences blend in with each other with not quite the delicacy of the sugar, putting caramel on a hot pan, but more like instant coffee granules spreading on a damp kitchen soil. You end up with sludge, a waste that you want a neighboring adult to clean, until you remember that you are the only adult nearby, and no one else has just been cleaning. In doing so, Cadence has become the Holden Caufield of the 21st century, which is not entirely lovers of sterling recommendations of Receiver in the rye would like to think that it is.
Irritating comrades
Like all his colleagues adolescent protagonists, Cadence also has a romantic interest in his age which goes through “GAT”. Gat is the Montague of his Capulet, the jack of his rose. We are informed both in the book and in the show (via the explanatory monologue of Cadence), that Gat is “contemplation and enthusiasm. Ambition and strong coffee ”. In case we have missed him, we remember several times, although the first time we obtain this description of opening up to him, it is when Cadence and Gat are both eight years old, so what she knows about ambition or the strong coffee at this age is a bit of a question mark. Perhaps the strong coffee is a metaphor for the color of Gat’s skin (due to its Indian inheritance, which must of course receive a description focused on food if we want to have a hope of imagining what it looks like.) It is certainly not because Gat is a drug addict. We have not also yet deduced which levels of ambition or contemplation GAT radiated at eight years which were chosen by the young cadence.
Gat is not the only person to receive allegories these bands. On the page and screen, cousins of coverage and best friends, John and Mirren, are delivered with similar labels. John, apparently, is “rebound, effort and snark”. Mirren, meanwhile, is “sugar, curiosity and rain”. How to come out on the spring with efforts or sugar? This, like the ambition and the café de Gat, remains unstable, although at least an easily impressed examiner is to believe, all this indicates “the magnificently executed prose, of spare, precise and lyrical”.
In addition to being snark, sugar and strong coffee, John, Mirren and Gat form the foundation of the holidays in the annual library of cadence, which, as you may have guessed because of the presence of the mysterious bad thing, are not as idyllic as lyrical prose or the close plans of beautiful hair blocked by the sun will make you believe. Does Cadence’s Bestties help her find the answers she seeks so desperately and tediously?
If you are the type of reader who prefers that their book or their show sticks to the genre that has been promised in the presentation text, then I have even more bad news for you, because We were liars Take liberties here too. With a plot that moves with the speed of an elderly lazy with arthritis, we must ask ourselves: do we treat a mystery of murder? A supernatural thriller? A medical drama? Is one of this real? Are books raised?
The good news is that we end up receiving answers for most of these questions. The bad news is that the answers will probably send you to a rabies cleaning spiral when you try to delete them from your mind. (Reflections and prayers if you launch this insane book or show a trip during a long-haul flight, when the advantages of cleaning the rabies are not available for you.) In short, I trust We were liars – in show and book format – to a very hated enemy.
