I really quite enjoyed listening to this audiobook and as I was in my car a lot over a couple of days, was able to finish it in pretty quick time.

The plot is captivating and although it is a tad unbelievable, it's like one of those cheesy chat shows that you can't stop watching and you find yourself shouting at the tv! Well, all I can say is that it's a good job I was in my car and not on a train whilst listening to this otherwise I would have got some very strange looks!

The characters are well developed - I actually didn't like any of them very much apart from Mason, however, for this book, I'm not sure it mattered to me. The pace was quick and it's full of tension from start to finish and the gradual reveal of the "unspeakable secret" added to this.

The narrator was good however, there were times when her voice became a little stilted and robotic which was a little annoying and disappointing.

Overall, I think this works really well as an audiobook and if you like delving into the secrets and lies of a very dysfunctional family, I would definitely recommend it.

Thank you to Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to Liar Liar and to share my thoughts.

It's now, what, nearly 40 years (at the time of reviewing) since the original, Dolph Lundgren-starring, Masters of the Universe movie.

Yes, he makes a cameo in this.

Anyway, as they say: what goes around comes around, and we're now back in an era where 80s TV shows (and cartoons) are making a bit of a comeback, with this the most recent example of such.

And, unlike that previous film, large parts of this *do* actually take place on Eternia rather than on Earth. Here, also, Prince Adam is new to his role - he's not the seasoned He-Man of the cartoons or that earlier film, with the first act of this set on Earth after he is sent there as a child (and promptly losing the Sword of Power, his way home) in order to escape from the evil Skeletor.

Who, in my opinion, seems to be in a different (more fun) movie than the rest of the cast.

So what we have, essentially, is an origin story, with large parts of the cast here - and in a change from what I remember of the cartoons - aware of both Adam's (not-so) secret identity, particularly Teela and Man-at-Arms both.

There's also a somewhat amusing reason for how the characters got their names: Ram-man, Mekaneck, etc ...

I loved the old cartoons, and bought a box set of the dvds for my sons. I might just wait for this to come out on TV or streaming, though!
