A review by cynthiak
Billy Liar by Keith Waterhouse

3.0

There are some funny moments but it is a dark book about disillusioned dreams of advancement and being stuck in one's social condition. The entire book is filled with hopelessness, especially from the reader's point of view at the main character's constant denial of reality and unwillingness to do something about it. It was quite an upsetting read, but well written.
For the girl in the mousy hair, Liz' character portrayal, it gains an extra star.
