Lies and Deceit
Lies and deceit and deceit and lies—that's what the lives of the Ryves brothers (and the rest of the characters in The Demon's Lexicon) are built on. Yeah sure, there are some truths in there too, but seriously, this book is loaded with people who aren't what they seem to be; people with mysterious pasts; and people who are so good at deceiving themselves that they can't see what's right under their noses. Misleading appearances, secrecy, self-deception, denial: it's all here, and it starts to make us wonder a bit about the facts of our own lives.
Do we really know the whole truth about ourselves, our friends, and our families? Are there any ways in which we're deceiving ourselves? Refusing to see the truth? Pretending to be something that we're not? It's all a little unsettling and (truth be told) kind of fun.
It would be impossible to get through an average week without telling at least one lie.
Sure Alan tells quite a few lies, but they are all justified and he is no less honorable or trustworthy for telling them.
