Oh yes, this is my second encounter with Markus Zusak's genius and I have today, he never disappoints. Seeing that he tells a strange of an extra-ordinary plain guy named Ed, one would expect nothing. But he delivers the driest humor and the best dorky recollections to us. I love this book and all i...
Ed es un joven taxista mediocre que, tras detener el robo de un banco, comienza a recibir naipes con direcciones, a donde debe dirigirse y "entregar un mensaje".Decir algo más sería arruinar la historia para quienes no la han leído.Leí este libro tras enamorarme de la escritura de Zusak en [b:The Bo...
BEFORE READING: I had a story idea about a cab driver once. The plot actually sounded a lot like the synopsis... Good thing I didn't write it, or that could have turned into a plagiarism case. Ha! Anyway, since it seems my heart has a special place for cab drivers with issues, I think I'll enjoy it.
Nineteen year old cab driver Ed Kennedy foils a bank robbery and soon finds himself receiving cryptic messages in the mail written on playing cards.

If you read what I thought of The Book Thief, you know I am a pretty big fan. Markus Zusak wrote a book unlike any I had ever read before. I wondered if his other books could be just as good, so I picked up I Am the Messenger. Guess what? I was blown away again. In Aussie Zusak I feel like I've...
Expected more from the author of The Book Thief. Might have rated earlier had someone else written it, but the ending was trite and the book was overall underwhelming.
So I've been sick these past few days, and the only good thing about being bedridden was getting to plow through some books and catch up on my 2011 goal (I'm so close - I might be able to make it!) One of the books I had the pleasure of reading was I Am the Messenger. Many of you may recognize the Z...
Markus Zusak writes characters that can break your heart. This is the story of Ed Kennedy, a regular guy, going nowhere in the rundown town where he grew up. The first chapter gives us an hysterical intro to four friends as they deal with being victims of a bank robbery. One might think the book was...
Suprisingly enough I really enjoyed this book. A LOT. The characters were well thought out and the plot seemed to flow. I liked it. Very philianthropic and makes me want to make a difference.
