Book Reviews of The Liar

Book Review: Get to know boarding school in a funny way
Summary: 5 Stars

'The Liar' by Stephen Fry is in many ways a strange novel, but in even more ways an absolutely marvellous work of art. It is hilarious, has a plot and a very recognizable main character. The way Fry describes a boarding school -an all-boys environment- is direct and funny, sometimes a bit sad. Fry's description of both students and professors are accurate, simple and well readable. You don't exactly feel sympathy for Adrian, the main character, you do sympathize with the some of the others. I would definitely read this if I were you - especially if you're not familiar with the boarding school environment. It's brilliant!!
