Christine A. (965 KP) rated School Lies in Books
Feb 28, 2019
When I read the description of School Lies by Kimberly G. Giarratano on Goodreads I could not wait to start it. “Guilt, lies, and betrayal–all before first period.” What a great tagline.
Unfortunately I thought the book was just OK, 2 stars using Goodreads’ rating system. There seemed to be a lot left out of the story. It felt as if it was only allowed to be a certain length and much of the story needed to be deleted to fit the length or if this was a second book in a series where I had not read the first book.
I could not relate with the characters and the story felt as if there were gaps in it. I would have stopped reading except the writing was adequate and I did not hate the book. Also, the page was less than 300 pages so I was well into the story and did not have much left before I thought of stopping. The book has a high rating on Goodreads, 4.0, and I would be willing to give Kimberly G. Giarratano a 2nd read but I would not put her at the top of my “authors to try again” list.

A handy way to keep track of everything that you read, and usefully connects with kindle so it updates your reading progress for you. I look forward to completing a reading challenge that I set myself on Goodreads, for the past four years I have apparently been overly ambitious :(

Book clubs and groups for every genre - a home for everyone
Goodreads - Great App
I could go on and on about Goodreads and how great it is. I have yet to find any kind of book related app/website that is as superior and easy to navigate. It’s an incredible app to use for anyone who likes to keep their reading organised and likes to set reading goals. My only qualm is that the app doesn’t have full access to all of the amazing things on Goodreads, some have to be accessed by the website - however that being said, you have access to the important parts which enable you to keep on top of your reading on the move!

stay connected with friends
I love Goodreads. It is a great place to keep track of my books and to see what friends are reading. I am some of their groups which offers another way for me to find book suggestions and another format for me to discuss books.

I received this book as a Goodreads First Reader. This book is actually really good! The stories seem to be classic horror stories and leave the reader to come up with their own conclusions for each story. I would recommend this book to every fan of the horror genre. This will not disappoint!
