Amazon.co.uk Review
Gemma and Mike each have something to hide, and when they meet the electricity that sparks between them leads them both to act uncharacteristically, causing each other pain that they will never forget. As the two misfits each begin to face the ghosts that have haunted them for most of their young lives, the emotional scars of two deeply unhappy children are slowly and painfully revealed as their relationship as pursuer and pursued magnifies the hurt to the point of despair. Powerful, haunting and totally gripping, Tell Me No Lies is an explosive psychological thriller that never compromises, never disappoints and leaves the reader with the uncomfortable and overwhelming impression that there are some problems that can never be completely resolved, but may perhaps become more bearable as time moves on. It is also proof, if proof were needed, that the award-winning Malorie Blackman is a literary force to be reckoned with. (Ages 10 to 13) --Susan Harrison

 Gripping read! July 8, 2008
Mrs. Kirsty Hallam (UK)
Slow to start but once you're into the book it's really enjoyable and hard to put down. It's written from two different points of view which gives you an insight into each character's feelings and emotions. The story is based on bullying and has twists and surprising turns throughout. Would thoroughly recommend this book to other readers but mainly older children because of the issues covered.

I'm not sure I could describe this book as amazing. It is rather 'bitty', with slightly unrealistic characters and plot. It is worth a read though and has a few surprising moments. Not Blackman's best work.
Tell me no lies - a review January 11, 2004

This book is quite good, and I sugest that you buy it, Malorie Blackman once again shows her true talent as a author by writing this book. This book leaves you waiting until the end to find out what happens, and trust me - it's exciting! A must for good book fans.
this is worth a read, but a bit slow August 10, 2003

This book is good, but not excellent. It doesn't compare to Noughts and Crosses. It's about a lonely girl named Gemma and a new boy at school called mike, and they have both lost their mothers. Its all about jelousy, bribary, hatred and friendship. It is worth a read but you have to keep to it because it's a bit slow. Malorie Blackman's trick is to hide secrets within her characters and slowly reveal them in the story to keep the reader gripped and she does this well in Tell me no lies. What i'd say is if you have the time, read all of Blackman's books as she is a terrific author, but if you have time for one book then keep searching because this isn't it.
A moving story of 2 desolate children. June 13, 2001
24 out of 26 found this review helpful
Mike is the new kid in town and is desperate to make new friends. Which he does, much to the dislike of Gemma. She has been there her whole life and has no friends. To keep herself busy and because she has no Mum, Gemma Collects pictures of Mums. Anything from Mums out of the newspaper looking sad to Mums out of a magazine, at the beach. A moving tale of deception, jealousy and friendship. Tell me no Lies is split into two halves, each chapter spinning from one character to the next, leaving the reader with an uneasy feeling of what might happen next.The two main characters, Gemma and Mike, are both hiding unbearable secrets about their parents. Their terrible secrets hangover them like a dark rain cloud never to go away. Gemma and Mike, are two very lonely people looking for someone to help and understand them. In their despair, they both bring out their bad side and do things which are completely out of character. Award winning Malorie Backman writes with alot of feeling. She paints a vivid picture in the readers mind, of the passionate book which brings tears to the eyes of many.
