ZACH'S LIE By:Roland Smith


If you take the "v" out of Lives what do you get?
Zach's Lie is book that's full of exciment, mysteries, and confusions that pretty much anyone will enjoy. As soon as the Osborne know that they are in trouble they emidiatly have to move, change their names, change the way they look, an never talk to the people that they knew,and start from scratch. When they arrive to their new house they dont like it at first but at the end they start to like it. The only thing that sucks about their new life is that they have to lie about their lifes and they can't talk about their past. In other words their lives are complete lies!
The characters in this book are incredible because they are all unique but you can still find some similar stuff that will connect them. The characters in the book really do go with the theme,plot, and setting of the book. All the characters in the book really care for one another and they try to help each other in anyway they can even if it means getting yourself KILLED!
One of the reasons why I really liked the book was because the book was very believable and intresting. Alot of the things that happened in the book can be related to real life situations because things that happened to the people in the book can happen to anyone at anytime. One of the things that I liked about the book is that after reading a chapter I wanted to keep on reading. The more I read the more I wanted to read and finish the book to find out what would happened to the Grangers and the other characters.
I really do recommend this book to everyone because you will like the book when your finished and while your reading it, even people you dont like to read will enjoy reading it! The book is easy to read and understand what its about.
One of the most frustrating things about the book is the end because something that you weren't expecting to happen actually does. After you know what happens to the Grangers, first known as the Osborne, and now know as the Greene you will wish that there could be a second part, believe me you will!
