The Book Of Lies


by James Moloney


Reviewed by Joshua M. of Year 8



This is an incredibly complex and mysterious mixture of adventure, children and magic. Marcel is quite young when a “wizard” brings him to Mrs. Timmins’ Home for Orphans & Foundlings. The wizard uses the mysterious Book of Lies to replace his memories with “safer” ones. As the orphans grow up they learn to fear the beast in the wizards’ tower at the Home and this eventually forces Marcel to escape into a much more sinister world filled with greed, betrayal and the Book of Lies.

IT is quite interesting to see what types of lies are in the world. This book portrays these lies very well. I think that this book should open peoples eyes to see that lying gets you no where in life.
