So, if you've been a recurring reader of the blog, you probably know that I have been super hyped for this book to come out.
One Of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus follows a group of 5 students in detention and during detention, one of the students dies. Now the 4 remaining students are under investigation as murder suspects while they fight to figure out the truth of what happened.
*Spoilers Ahead*
This book was kind of disappointing to me. I found myself having to constantly re-read passages, and I wasn't really invested in the individual characters, Plus I kind of felt like their storylines were super convoluted and overwhelmed the plot. Here are more of my thoughts, in video form!
Sorry for my awkwardness, but hey it's my first video!
Did you enjoy the video format? Let me know and I might make some more!

Hi there, first time visitor to your blog (I saw your post on Geek Blogs Unite) and decided to read this post. Well done on doing your video, I gather video is the way forward for blogs etc. Your introduction to the book was relatively intriguing though, when you described the various tropes applied I decided perhaps not intriguing enough to stop reading what I am reading. I would say, in terms of format, the video was quite hard for me to watch as you were referencing things in the book without too many details, which was ultimately a wee bit confusing. Thank you for sharing. If you want to read any of my stuff, some of which do have videos (am a recent comer to the video blog myself) you can find me at www.itsmorethanjustgaming.com . All the best to you
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking the blog/video out! I'll definitely check your blog out!
