I Am The Messenger
By: Markus Zusak
4.5/5 stars
Reviewer: Marina
I Am The Messenger is
a novel of mystery, triumph, change, making a difference, and playing
cards. Narrator Ed Kennedy is a somewhat
lost 19 year old taxi driver. His life
is stagnant and not really going the way he wants it to. After accidentally foiling a bank robbery Ed
starts receiving mysterious playing cards in the mail with puzzles written on
them. The puzzles direct him to his
tasks once he can decipher them and Ed starts making a difference in people’s
lives.
This novel is a powerful and engaging story sure to keep you
reading on. Ed is a likeable character
that you’ll want to see succeed. Some of
the scenes of the book can be a bit harsh and therefore possibly more suitable
for older teens. The book ultimately has
a very positive message and will definitely leave you with things to think
about.
