Representaion Concering Books The Liar

Stephen Fry's breathtakingly outrageous debut novel, by turns eccentric, shocking, brilliantly comic and achingly romantic.

Adrian Healey is magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life; unprepared too for the afternoon in Salzburg when he will witness the savage murder of a Hungarian violinist; unprepared to learn about the Mendax device; unprepared for more murders and wholly unprepared for the truth.

The Liar is a thrilling, sophisticated and laugh out loud hilarious novel from a brilliantly talented writer.

Criticize Regarding Books The Liar

Stephen Fry ranks among my favourite persons on earth. There's something about his terribly English combination of wit, erudition and a dirty mind that never fails to delight me, and it shines brightly in The Liar, the first of the four novels he has published so far. An irreverent and intelligent take on such British institutions as the public-school novel, the Cambridge novel and the spy novel, it is best appreciated by people who have an affinity for such things, but really, anyone with a

Love love love Stephen Fry but this one was a little hard to follow. I think I got 90% of the story but there were some very confusing bits. Even so, his writing is wonderful.

So, I didn't actually finish this. I love Stephen Fry, but this book was a chore. And life is too short to force yourself to finish a book when there's so many other things to read.There were really funny moments in the half that I read, but they were all witty one liners that didn't have much to do with the plot.

Stephen Fry is a wit and raconteur if ever there was one. His first novel "The Liar" is an interesting, erudite, comic, and witty semi thriller all in one package. The protagonist of this novel, one Adrian Healey, is always lying to and fooling others. In no great irony the person he is lying to the most is himself. Almost every reader will see some of their own foibles in him at some point in the text, which can make for some uncomfortable reading moments. Adrian is both nasty and kind, and I

I need to start by saying that I think this man is a God, which does seem to be the standard opening play in any discussion of Stephen Fry by at least one person in the room. If, in this case, that person needs to be me, well, so be it. This is his first novel and although there were parts of it that had me making the kind of snorting sounds that could all too easily have had people thinking I was suffering from a terribly debilitating illness mostly I dont think it worked. It pains me to say

I thought this was a very though book to get into, especially because it takes pretty long to see what the book is trying to tell you. Also the writing style used is confusing and a bit pretentious. About 40 pages into the book that all started to matter les, because I was fascinated by the protagonist Healey. Healey is a boarding school kid and is a pretentious crook and a liar. In that way the writing style is very fitting for the book, and might have been a conscious choise of Stephen Fry.

Brilliant and funny as Fry can be, it was also hard to follow as the timeline is all over the place. But dont fret, the journey is quite worthy!
