I have to say I was a tad disappointed with The Good Lier which follows the story of Roy a career con man and Betty his final 'mark' but there is something intriguing about Betty making the ending all the more surprising.

While the first 15% and the final 10% off the book was engaging and exciting to read. I found the rest convoluted, slow and difficult to stay focused. In fact the book very nearly became a DNF

While the story is fun, I didn't really find it believable and the characters were not all that relatable or even likeable.

Did not see that twist coming. Gripping story with very intriguing characters. Can't wait to see the film.

Liked the book but could not totally immerse myself into it.

I didn't enjoy this very much, I felt the main character wasn't very sympathetic so I just didn't feel for him!

A very slow read just couldn't get into it. 3*.
