The Lie
By Chad Kultgen
- Release Date: 2009-10-06
- Genre: Fiction & Literature
Description
With the publication of The Average American Male -- and the release of the shocking viral videos that made it a water-cooler sensation -- Chad Kultgen became one of the most talked-about authors of recent years. Now, with The Lie, Kultgen returns with an even more salacious -- yet also more searching -- novel that reaches deeper into the craven inner workings of some of most depraved minds in America: college students.
His subjects are Brett, the rich hedonist whose appetite for sex is matched only by his contempt for women; his best friend, Kyle, the brooding science geek whose good intentions lead him to one disastrous decision; and Heather, the social-climbing sorority girl who has the power to destroy them both. As this devil's triangle plows through four years of college, Kultgen offers a astonishing take on the wild and amoral universe of college today: a frathouse world where sex is social currency, status means everything -- and winner takes all.
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.

Ok ... So, um yeah
5By scorp1977Vulgar, hopeless,and incredible! I rPicked thus bad boy up after reading the average American male and seriously like couldn't put it down. It has everything I needed for a cheap way to entertain myself. When you read be prepared to spend some time as you too will not be able to put it once once you've been acquainted to the 3 characters the story revolves around.best one yet
5By laurakaupeby far the best book i have ever read. i could not put it down! so many twists and turns and it was so interesting and hilarious! the ending had me i was so into it!Favorite book!
5By Qtjess1369Love love this book. Chad does not hold back and it's crazy how well thought out these characters are which makes the book that more believable and enjoyable. Being from Dallas, which is where the book is based, I cringe at the thought of how close this book is to reality. You won't be able to put it down!Great Story
5By Antonio Brown-SturgisI have read a lot of the reviews about the ending , to be honest it was very honest to real life . Great story and very hateable and likeable charactersWonderful
5By DevynRainRead this book my sophomore year and read average American male my senior. Chad kultgen is a great writer. Unique. I like his style.A Good Read
4By wfrankel2I read The Average American Male and decided to go right to this one. This is definitely a deeper read than the previous book and has much better character development and a more developed plot. I was somewhat ready for it to be over maybe 75 pages earlier than it was, but I did enjoy it. Also, while each characters' day to day escapades remain completely far-fetched (like the previous book), there is something about the underlying themes that characterize each one that is completely realistic. Knowing that Kultgen is a relatively new author, I think his work will continue to get more and more interesting and more and more thought-provoking, and I will continue to read hIm.Fantastic read for the well rounded
4By dvoramaA bit on the dark side of reality, but it read real nonetheless. Great character development and parallels to those characters throughout. I would recommend, but if you are easily offended or sensitive make sure you put on a helmet first.Don't read the last 30 or so pages
4By David SonkinTrust me if you want the book to have a good ending trust me and don't read the end.The ending
4By JamesMeaneyOOHIt leaves you with a sense of "wow, the hope I have feels false" kinda sense. But hopefully the ending makes you go outside and start a fire in your backyard and burn the book to a type of grey ash so that no one may feel that hollow feeling that I felt when I closed the book.Yes… Chad did it twice in a row… You won't be disappointed
5By Jeremy WilcoxI loved the separation of character dialog in this story… It was so well thought out, the detail of individual thought pattern and true personality traits… Thank you, these books really need to be re-released in hardcover for longer shelf life of continual reading!
