queensthiefI was reading a discussion of The Thief, and one of the people said that what was cool about the book was that Gen treats us, the readers, like he does everyone in the story, and lies to us all (probably with a smirk, they said).
Although he leaves out a whole lot, I can't think of any times Gen actually tells any lies in his narration to the reader. We talked recently about whether it's possible to guess the surprise ending from the clues that are given and some people thought it is possible.
Did anyone guess the ending, or even know Gen was hiding something? Do you all think Gen lies to the reader? Any examples?
