Hey everyone, so as promised I am here with the book review that has been waiting in the wings. I am reviewing Marcus Zusak's book "I am the Messenger". I'm trying something a little different here with this review. I am trying to make my reviews on here a little more "storytelling", then just a str...
It took me a long time to write this review because I have a feeling that this is a case of “It’s not you, it’s me.” Nineteen-year-old Ed is a cabdriver who believes that he has achieved everything that he is going to achieve in his life. He lives in a shack with a smelly dog, plays cards with his...
I am the Messenger is one of the more bizarre books I have ever read. It is one of those books that caused me to question myself continually about why I was reading it, yet, at the same time, I couldn't put it down. Even now, having finished it, I am not sure how I feel about it. But it sticks with ...
The message in this story is that all of us have roles to play in this life -- roles that makes a difference in the lives of others. Don't for one moment think that the cards that have been dealt out in your life are common or unremarkable. You have a gift, an ability, a presence that is waiting to ...
I was trying to find "meh" emoji to cut my review short, now it spread on a sentence more that this book deserved. Ok, I'm being to harsh, it was an ok book...I think.
Awesome, awesome book. I loved how straightforward it was, how each character was so well thought out... I just really enjoyed the whole thing.My full review is here, on Hot Stuff for Cool People.
I got this book from the library, just because I got the cover. I didn't see who wrote it or what it's called. After I finished the last page, and read the author's biography, I realised it's the author of The Book Thief, a book I have bought and adore. Then I realised why I loved the main characte...
Ed is the "epitome of ordinariness". He never went to college, lied his way into a job as a taxi driver, spends most of his free time playing cards with his friends, and has no vision of making more of his life. When he becomes caught in the middle of a bank holdup and is dubbed a hero, subsequently...
Despite my blog's name, I had never heard of this book until a few months ago when someone, seeing my name on Goodreads, asked me if I had gotten inspiration from this book. Unfortunately, I can't remember who commented this (If you're reading this, please comment or message me so I can give credit ...
First thought: Markus Zusak never fails to amaze me. Well fair enough, i've only read one other book of his (The Book Thief) , but that one is like my second favourite book EVERR. Second to Harry Potter, of course ;P This story had a different .. what's the word..er mellifluous? feel to it. Maybe...
