Stephen Fry - The Liar

The book is all about Adrian Healey and his progress through life as a prolific liar. Stephen Fry, for those who have not heard of him, is hilarious in both writing and real life and this semi-autobiographical novel of his first twenty years is vividly detailed and, although perhaps a bit sketchy with flashbacks, is a delightful comic romp about a kid who coasts through life unscathed because of his immense skill at lying and defrauding others.
