I couldn't turn it off. I loved it. Amazing! great way of writing. Didn't know where the story was going. Had me guessing.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Storyline. The plot was distinctly unbelievable and positively silly in parts.

Has The Perfect Lie put you off other books in this genre?

No, I have read others by this author which were more realistic and believable.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

Narration was great! I really liked the different ages of the narrators, which I think added to the storyline.the accents were, by in large, very good.

Could you see The Perfect Lie being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

No, I don't think the plot in strong enough for dramatisation.

Any additional comments?

The suspense generated in the novel was gripping and it really kept my attention, however I was continually waiting for the missing part of the puzzle which would make everything clear and make sense thus never came, and all the way through I just kept staying ' Really?' And 'as if anyone would believe that!'

Great narration, gripping but unbelievable

Really gripping read

well written I liked the way it flips between characters and time to piece the story together. having visited Venice I was familiar with not knowing where you are and eventually ending up in familiar surroundings. Good use of voices to identify the characters.

Was an ok story but a bit generic. The narration felt like someone was telling story to kids

Predictable
