I recall being impressed by this book, and wanting to read more by Slater, but that was a dozen years ago, and now that I'm trying to comment on each book in this collection I cannot recall its details. ( )

Definitely relatable; one of my favourites. ( )

This book was just ok. I stopped reading it for a few days and I had no interest in finishing it. ( )

The second book I've read by Lauren about her life. This book semi focuses on lying. She discloses a surgery to help her epilipsy by separting the two hemispheres of her brain. That is facinating to me! And to think she is so intelligent to finish her doctorette in record time. Interesting- and what a wacky mother! I was disappointed she didn't continue persuing !!- she felt being there was a lie, but if she felt loved and real, what's the difference? ( )

LYING is a stunning feat of postmodern nonfiction, professing itself in every page as being both true and untrue, fully metaphorical and essentially accurate. I don't know how much of it "actually happened," and really, I dot need to. Its composition alone is very impressive -- many memoirs are less than well-organized -- and the conversational writing pulls off the contradictory theme without a hitch. Highly recommended to anyone who doesn't require the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in their readings -- and recommended even more highly to those who do. ( )
