By the same author as The Book Thief, this young adult book held my attention all the way. It has some poetic elements like The Book Thief but had a completely different plot that was just as engaging.
I Am the Messenger is the story of Ed Kennedy, a cab driver who appears to be going nowhere in his life, until he stops a bank robbery in progress. After the robbery, Ed's life changes as he becomes the messenger (or so he believes). He receives mysterious playing cards with clues as to people whose lives need changing. And Ed is the person for the job.
This story made me laugh, it almost made me cry, but most importantly, it made me really think about life. Cool book. Definitely worth the couple days it will take to read.
