Lawson, Richard Grayson, Ismail Ambani, Travis Becker and Louis Lockwood went

4 boys lied that they don't know where Edward went when the party was done,
instead of telling the truth that they were on an accident and they couldn't
find Edward.
This scenario caused the unwanted things
to happen. The anonymous stalker labeled as 'E' started sending the four boys
threats and black mails through SMS and Emails and E will spill up their
secrets if they are not going to do what E was commanding them. For them to be
able to save themselves, they try to fix the case without telling the police or
any authority. But that resolution of the four made E to manipulate them and
made the killings victoriously as well.
Innocent people were killed; their
friends, some other people at school even the cop was killed. Even the innocent
Quentin Hamilton was suspected as the killer though he was just framed up. The
four boys were eager more to find out who the anonymous killer was.
After
the burial of Edward Lawson, Mrs. Lawson the mother of Edward gave Richard some
stuffs of her son. One thing caught up Richard's attention was the diary of Edward,
so he also gets it.
In that diary, they discovered the secret
of one another and the most horrifying revelation was Edward is also being
threatened by 'E'. When they were near to know who the E was, someone
distracted them from downstairs. Unluckily, they left the diary at the bedroom
that made E to get the diary to prevent them knowing who the person behind E. The
threats and stalking is still ongoing with the four and even at mapleton.
In a game of the football, Cougars of
Mapleton High won. For their victorious game, Jude O’Brien announced that there
will be a party held at his house and everyone is invited. Including Richard,
Louis, Travis and Ismail, No one has ever predicted that there would be
killings once again.
That night Travis didn't come to Jude's
party. He went to Brent's house with Willie. When Travis went inside he saw his
boyfriend dead. When he went outside to call help, he saw Willie dead as well.
In Jude's party Jade Anderson, Ismail's
girlfriend was found dead inside the comfort room and that made the people at
the party to go home. Even Sebastian Petroff was killed as well. The only people
left were Richard, Ismail, Louis, Claire, Furon and Jude. While Brittany was
been kidnapped by E. Richard was searching all around and until E called him
and told him that he need to bring Edward's diary and for exchange, E will give
his girlfriend back, and they will meet at Jude's cabin. Jude gave Richard a
ride way to his cabin.
Richard discovered such a terrible thing
knowing that Jude is E, their tormentor and stalker. Jude revealed everything
about ‘E’. He even said the he is not the only one but Furon is also his
accomplice. The E-Club is a club where all the members do hate Edward and where
people are good in lying. But he denied killing Edward.
That time, Richard made a way for him and
his girlfriend to escape. He hit Jude with his iPhone on Jude's for head. Unluckily,
Jude still manages to wake up. They chase one another, until Richard got into a
room and there he saw Clint being tied up.

to help Richard but Jude killed Clint.

evidences in Jude's library, someone shoot Claire at the heart. Louis found out that Furon Sylvester is E. Furon

the head, a samurai stabbed on Furon's chest that made him die. It was Travis

Back to Richard and Jude, Richard finally
killed Jude. He shoots Jude at his chest. Ismail, Travis and Louis untied
Brittany. When they went to Richard, they saw Richard killed Jude. But they
warned Richard that evil people have longer lives. So, Richard shoot Jude twice
to make sure that he is dead.

went good again, people in mapleton feel safe again. The emo dude, Quentin
Hamilton is released in Jail and achieved the justice for he was just framed up
by the killer. The four boys are still up with the investigations. Sometimes, they
are being featured by some news channels.
After the miserable experience, the four
boys, Louis, Richard, Travis and Ismail are having a small party for they
survived and killed the two killers who was been dismaying their whole city. But
an unwanted thing happened again. Steve called Ismail quivering and he told
that Richard needs to go to Brittany's house.
Seeming something bad happened to Brittany. Then the four boys right
away went to Brittany's house.
When they reached their way, they saw a huge
number of people. There are police, ambulance and Brittany's family. Richard
found her girlfriend lying on a stretcher dead. And again, they received a text
from their anonymous tormentor, 'E'.
The
four main characters in Handsome Lying Jerks are;
Richard Grayson,
He is 18 yrs. Old. Richard was a victim of masochism. His parents sent him to
rehab at the age of 14 and redeemed himself at the age of 16.
Ismail Ambani, is
a 17-year-old boy who is a half American and a half Pakistani. He's darkest
secret is losing his virginity at the age of 15.
Travis Becker,
a 17-year-old boy. He is a tall with a brown messy hair. One of his greatest
secret is his sexuality. He is a gay. He has a crush on the most popular boy in
school and is his best friend, Edward Lawson.
Louis Lockwood,
a 17-year-old British boy. He has a Pearl white - complexion. His secret is he
never kissed or even had a girlfriend before.
It all began on the Friday night, July
2007 in Mapleton, South Carolina when Edward was lost and the terrifying thing
started to happen. Most of the killing happened in Mapleton High and some of
the houses of the victim. The last killing was in Jude O'Brien's house and at
his cabin during his Friday night party.
The theme of the story is,
“Be careful on who you share your secrets
with.”
Every individual has a secret hiding
behind themselves. We all have the darkest and the simplest secrets. For us to
share our feelings with, we are finding someone who we can share our secrets.
But the thing is, before saying something to a certain person. Make sure that
person is a trust worthy and not going to black mail or use your secret to
threat you. You need to know that certain person first before revealing
everything about yourself.
For me some events in the story may really
happen in true life. Likewise, Extra-judicial killings are happening in our
country. Every day the news has issues about the killings being committed. The
authorities don't even know if the people who are being killed were true drug
addicts.
Accusing a wrong person, it always happens
in court. It's a typical thing when a rich or influential family reversed the
truth and passes it to the innocent people for them not to be in jailed. Or it
may be also framing up someone.
Last thing is black mailing, threatening
emails or SMS is being used by scanners most of all in this era, for us to give
them what they want. We all know in 21st century we are more on using
technologies.
My most favorite part is when Quentin was
framed up by the killer. It is a cool thing, the way on how the killer
carefully killed Quentin's girlfriend without living any evidences. The way he
planned everything fits to what the two people are doing that night. Quentin
has an earphone and listening to music, while his girlfriend sleeping. The
killer used that chance to inject Quentin with a sleeping chemical. So that
Quentin can't be woken up if his girlfriend screams in pain. Everything is made by a smart person.
The
least part that I like the most is, when Richard lied instead of saying the
truth to Edward's parents. If Richard did not to such thing, I think Edward
wouldn't be killed and he may be rescued earlier and the anonymous texter won’t
bother the four boys and killings would not be committed.
The
four boys left the diary in the bedroom. They shouldn't leave it. Because they
know that E is smart and he can do anything without living any evidences.
I would
like to end the story by Richard not killing Jude. The four boys just decided
to give Jude to police and they also told Officer Shay about their stalkers.
When Jude was brought to the
jail, policemen and detectives are forcing him to spill up everything about the
'Elite Club'. When Jude spilled up everything, He said that Richard was the one
who killed Edward that Friday night. But the reason he also wants to kill Richard
because Richard wants to leave E club. All of the accomplices were
brought
in jail including Richard. Travis, Ismail and Louis felt a strong ire on
their hearts for they can't believe that Richard was the one who killed Edward. From that
time, the mapleton felt safe again and all the criminals were sentenced a
lifetime in Jail.
After the
hearing of the case, someone called Travis, a voice that is familiar. Saying
that, "You all accused a wrong person once again."
The end
I rate Handsome Lying Jerks 9. Honestly, I
do not really read novels; this novel inspired me to read not because it’s
required. But it shows me that novel is not boring at all. Some may be boring
depends on my taste but this one really proved me that novel is also catchy.
About the story, I like it so much. It’s an ‘Urban legend’ inspired story. The
story also helped me to discover unfamiliar words and that really helped me in
making my poems and essays. I love everything. I love being terror by the
scenes, and the breath taking fights caused me to freak out. The story made me
to analyze who the killer was and always end up having a wrong guess and that
makes the story more exciting. I would
like to recommend this to people for having an astonishing concept of the story
and to my sister who likes suspense. I even told some of my friends to read
this book. I am thankful that I read
such a novel like this and I am also hoping that sooner or later the sequel two
will be finished.
